Welcome to the Schiffer Lab
The Schiffer Lab works at the intersection of fundamentals & applications, experiment & theory, and techno-economics & lab-scale demonstrations. Our goal is to move towards a more sustainable future for the chemical, energy, and manufacturing industries through research combining multiple science and engineering areas.
What do we do?
In our lab, we focus on developing sustainable routes for chemical processes. In particular, we look at using renewable electricity to drive chemistry by combining electrochemical, photochemical, and thermochemical systems to achieve our goals.
Equally as important as our scientific results are the methods by which we reach them. We believe in research founded on inclusive and open dialogue between researchers that leads to innovation and sustainable progress.
