Biography

Dr. Feng Gao is a Staff Scientist in the Catalysis Science Group within the Physical Sciences Division at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He also belongs to the Institute for Integrated Catalysis (IIC) at PNNL. Dr. Gao’s research interests are in surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis; in particular the understanding of structure-function relationships on well-defined catalytic systems using a variety of spectroscopic techniques and reaction kinetics. After graduating from Tianjin University in 1994 in chemical engineering, he continued his graduate training at the same university, studying solid acid, metal and oxide catalysts for various applications. In 2000, he joined Professor Wilfred T. Tysoe’s group at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee studying surface science, and received a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry in 2004. He stayed in the same group for three years as a research associate working on enantioselective chemisorption/reaction and vinyl acetate synthesis on model catalysts. He then joined Professor D. Wayne Goodman’s group at Texas A&M University as a Research Associate in 2007, working on pressure-dependent kinetics and IR spectroscopy for CO oxidation and CO/NO reactions on model noble metal and alloy surfaces. He then worked for two years at Washington State University as a research staff member before joining PNNL in 2011. Dr. Gao is currently leading three research projects associated with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx using state-of-the-art zeolite-based catalysts. He is an author of 80+ peer reviewed publications.
