Marshall Clayton Wheeler / Surface Chemistry and Catalysis
Clay completed his Ph.D. in May 1997 and his dissertation is entitled "Kinetics and Dynamics of Molecular Oxygen Adsorption on Ru(001), and Reaction Dynamics of Gas-Phase Atomic Oxygen on Precovered Pt(111), Ir(111), and Ru(001) Surfaces." He then worked in the research division of Texaco Corporation for two years before embarking on postdoctoral studies at the National Institute for Standards and Technology. Upon completion of his postdoc he joined the University of Maine in their Chemical and Biological Engineering Department where he is currently studying the conversion of biomass to fuel.
