This $200,000 NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (CFDA 47.049) supports a 3-year research project under the mentorship of Dr. Shannon Stahl at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The research project, led by Dr. Patrick Q. Kelly, aims to develop heterogeneous single-atom catalysts based on nitrogen-doped carbon (MNxC) materials for oxidative N-N bond formation. This work is expected to enable the synthesis of valuable compounds for pharmaceutical, agricultural, and energy applications, while also providing mechanistic insights into N-N and other bond-forming reactions. In addition to the research activities, the project includes plans to mentor a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as engage underrepresented high school students through hands-on science activities. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
