How to convert CO2 into high-value liquid products at mild conditions while net consuming CO2? We published a perspective in JACS Au on utilizing CO2 for C3 oxygenate production via tandem reaction schemes with water or ethane as the H source. @ChemeCU pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Electrochemical reductive aminations (ERAs) typically occur thru catalyst non-specific outer-sphere reactions. Our latest Chem Catalysis paper demonstrates ERA with NH3 occurring via an inner-sphere mechanism, opening the door for catalyst engineering. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gSTE9URZ7jo…

A big congratulations to Joy (Joy Zeng) on her successful PhD defense!! 🥳👏

This was an awesome collaborative work! Never expected such large changes in Tafel slope by altering electrolyte convection

Congratulations to our final @manthiramlab Ph.D. graduates from MIT, Joseph Maalouf, Joy Zeng, and Minju Chung! What fun adventures at the frontiers of science as we built up our early group at MIT - thankful to these three stellar students for teaching me so much!!

We're happy to share that the early backers of Tesla/SpaceX and some of Europe's most influential industrialists have come together to back our team and mission in a $10M seed round. 🐬🐬🐬 Details: magratheametals.com/news/seedround

A great compilation and summary of the opportunities and challenges involved in decarbonizing the chemical industry! liftoff.energy.gov/wp-content/upl…

It's that time of year again! Stop by and check out my two talks at #AIChE on my postdoc work with Atwater Group! One talk will be on how electrolyte convection affects electrochemical reactions and the other will be on direct capture of carbon dioxide from ocean water.

Honored to be named one of #ForbesUnder30 in Science! Excited to see the support for decarbonization & sustainability, and can't wait for the future. Thanks everyone who has helped me get this far! Full list: forbes.com/30-under-30/20…

Minju Chung's latest now in Science Magazine! We've demonstrated electrochemical activation of H2O for propylene epoxidation using PdPtOx catalyst, w/ >60% efficiency under mild conditions, promising low-footprint production of commodity chemicals. 🧪⚡️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations to Caltech ChemE senior Virginia Canestraight on her Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship! She is off to Harvard University to work in the lab of Zachary J Schiffer. Zack was in the first cohort of Manthiram Lab grad students who built up the lab from scratch and taught me SO much. Look

So proud of alumna @AisuluAitbekova starting her own research group and teaching and mentoring students in a great department. Students and postdocs out there, get in touch with her as she is a rising star in the field and you don’t want to miss the chance to work with her!

Very excited to share that I will be joining NYU Tandon as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, starting August of 2026! 🏙 🥳 Before then, I will be doing my Postdoc with Karthish Manthiram at Caltech! 🦫

Glad to see Carnot getting publicity! There's surprisingly little online considering it is the 200th anniversary of the Carnot engine (this article is also a very interesting look into his life and the state of science at the time).

At long last, my postdoc paper on acid & base generation from seawater for direct ocean capture of CO2 is out! A fun project on the power of electrochemistry with Atwater Group! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
