Biography
Susan Habas is a Senior Scientist and Distinguished Member of Research Staff in the Catalytic Carbon Transformation and Scale-Up Centre at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). She received her Ph.D. in ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ from the University of California, Berkeley, with Prof. Peidong Yang in 2008.
Following her postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and NREL, Susan joined the NREL research staff in 2012. Her current work focuses on the development of innovative catalysts for selective transformations of renewable and waste carbon sources to fuels and chemicals.
Susan's interests include the design and synthesis of nanostructured catalysts with tailored surface chemistry, continuous flow methods for scalable synthesis and discovery of catalytic materials, and non-thermal plasma catalysis. She is a Principal Investigator in the Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium, leading a multi-national laboratory effort to advance new synthetic approaches and operando characterisation capabilities for catalytic systems.
