2 Research Associate. (1). Studies on alumina supported molybdenum catalysts derived from Mo(CO) 6, emphasizing on model catalyst characterization and hydrocarbon conversion reactions. (2). Fundamental investigations on chiral molecule adsorption/reaction on chirally templated single crystal surfaces. (3). Pd-Au alloy formation, characterization and application in vinyl acetate synthesis. (4). The surface and tribological chemistry of water/carbon dioxide mixtures with copper surfaces Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI Research Assistant. Investigation of the frictional properties of solid lubricating films formed by thermally decomposing lubricant additives on metal surfaces. This work has primarily focused on the way in which sulfur-, phosphorus- and chlorinecontaining molecules react since these types of molecule are often used as lubricant additives. The frictional properties of well-characterized thin films were explored in ultrahigh vacuum in order to correlate the physical properties of the films and substrates with the resulting frictional properties Department of Chemical Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin, P.R. China Research Assistant. Partial oxidation of small hydrocarbons on supported model oxide and heteropoly acid catalysts Department of Applied Chemistry, Tianjin University, Tianjin, P.R. China Research Assistant. Polymer supported metal and acid catalysts in Phenol alkylation reactions.
