Recent Research Activites

Dr. White’s research group focuses on understanding structure and reactivity relationships in heterogeneous catalysis, as well as the physical and chemical behavior of gases and liquids confined in nanoporous solids. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key tool that is utilized to study different systems, including modern solid-state and diffusion NMR methodologies.
