Samira Lab investigates active site environments at catalytic interfaces to understand how structure, surface chemistry, and local conditions influence catalytic performance. Our work focuses on the fundamental principles that control reactivity, selectivity, and stability in catalytic systems. By combining experimental methods, materials characterization, and mechanistic analysis, the group aims to generate insights that support the design of more efficient and sustainable catalysts for important chemical and energy-related processes.
