Welcome to Catalysis Research Lab!

Our catalysis research labs are located at the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver Campus, the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department. We have well-equipped labs for preparing heterogeneous catalysts, characterizing, and testing the catalysts in different lab/bench scale set-ups. The aim of our research is to better understand the relationships between heterogeneous catalyst properties, reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms, so as to assist in the design and development of improved catalysts and catalytic processes. We focus on issues related to the Canadian energy scene.
