Koo Research Group Presents at AIAA SciTech 2025 Conference
Three graduate students from the Koo Research Group presented five papers at the AIAA SciTech Conference in Orlando, Florida. Topics included advanced aerospace materials like carbon/UHTR and quartz/UHTR ablatives, microstructural analysis, and photogrammetry methods. The students, along with their advisor Dr. Joseph H. Koo, showcased their research to over 6,000 attendees.
A New Structure for Single Atom Catalysis
A recent study by Dr. Yuanyue Liu and his team, published in The American Chemical Society (ACS), has revealed a previously overlooked catalytic site in M–N–C materials, which are vital for energy conversion reactions like the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Traditionally, M–N–C catalysts feature pyridinic sites as the primary active sites.
