David Hibbitts, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE), is leading a three-year, $672,000 grant from the National Science Foundation from the Chemistry Division titled: Separating Electronic and Geometric Effects in Compound Catalysts: Examining Unique Selectivities for Hydrogenolysis on Transition Metal Phosphides. In this project, Dr. Hibbitts will collaborate with David […]

David Hibbitts, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, has been named a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Award winner. This prestigious award will allow Hibbitts’ research group to explore reaction mechanisms of zeolite-catalyzed methanol-to-hydrocarbons reactions in order to improve how we convert natural gas, shale gas, and biomass resources to liquid transportation […]

David Hibbitts, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE), was awarded a $450,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to explore the role of water in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) catalysis, a chemical reaction that converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into water and hydrocarbons, and how to use those discoveries to create […]

David Hibbitts Ph.D., has been awarded a new grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The three-year, $450K grant will support collaborative work between Dr. Hibbitts (UF), Dr. Phil Christopher (University of California, Santa Barbara), and Dr. Andrew Getsoian at the Ford Motor Company through the NSF’s Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) program. The study will improve the performance and efficiency of catalytic converters, which […]
