Thuy Le is a postdoctoral researcher in the Physical Sciences Division and part of the Materials Sciences group and the Institute of Integrated Catalysis. Her research focuses on design and characterizing supported and/or encapsulated transition metal catalysts (molecular, single site, clusters, nanoparticles) for H₂ storage and/or carbon utilization. She is also involved in the multilab Hydrogen Material Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) project which focuses on developing and scaling up hydrogen storage system. She works collaboratively across homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis fields.
