About this position

This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on single-atom catalysts designed for methane-to-liquids conversion and related methane upgrading reactions. The selected researcher will work on catalyst preparation, characterization, and testing, with an emphasis on achieving high metal loading and durability.

The project involves preparing SAC materials by high-temperature fusing and evaluating them using a range of analytical and structural techniques, including SEM/TEM, elemental analysis, N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, XPS, and XAS. The catalytic work is centered on methane upgrading to value-added chemicals and fuels, making this a hands-on project at the interface of catalyst development and reaction testing.

The work is hosted within the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD), which supports research across electromagnetic-spectrum technologies and also conducts work in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, solid-state physics, chemical engineering, materials science, and electrochemistry. The listed ARL advisor is Dat T. Tran.

This opportunity is part of the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP), connecting academic and industry researchers with ARL scientific and technical priorities in a broad research environment.
