Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
Weaver Lab
Led by Jason Weaver · Chemical Engineering
What we study
The lab studies how reactions happen on solid surfaces, like metals and oxides, using tools like scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. They explore how different surface structures affect reactions, like turning alkanes into useful products.
