  Nathan has been with the Henkelman group since April of 2005. He recently graduated from UT with honors degrees in physics and chemistry, and was selected as a Dean's Honored Graduate at Commencement. To date, he has worked on several projects, including the dissociation of CH4 on iridium nanoparticles and surfaces; CO oxidation on titania-supported thin gold films & Au(111); and CO3 formation/decomposition on Ag(110), Ag(111), Au(110), & Au(111). His present research inolves using a genetic algorithm to design better fuel cell catalysts, e.g. bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles for the oxygen reduction reaction. Nathan will be working for Dr. Henkelman this fall, during which time he will apply to graduate school.
