个人简介

Dr. Metiu obtained his Ph.D. at MIT in 1974. After postdoctoral research at MIT and the University of Chicago, he came to Santa Barbara in 1976. His awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (1978), a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (1979), the Exxon Solid State Chemistry ACS award (1979), and the UCSB Faculty Research Lectureship (1987). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Japan Association for the Promotion of Science.

My group is performing quantum mechanical computations and experiments (in collaboration with Professors McFarland, Seshadri, and Stucky) to search for new catalysts for converting natural gas or CO2 into useful chemicals. We are also involved in experimental and computational work to use electrochemistry to find a good system for energy storage.
