Description:
Substitution of natural gas for coal for electrical power generation will continue to be a major contributor to the reduction in U.S. greenhouse gas while renewable energies are being developed. CISTAR is producing novel catalysts and separation systems with transformative new performance properties for the economic production of chemicals and transportation fuels from shale gas hydrocarbons.

The CISTAR REU program partners with the Purdue Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program to provide a hands-on research experience for undergraduate students to stimulate their interest in advanced education and research careers. Selected students will engage in research this summer on Purdue's West Lafayette, Indiana campus! CISTAR/SURF matches undergraduates from other institutions with a faculty member and graduate student mentor who introduce them to the research tools used on the cutting edges of science, engineering, and technology.
