Devin Rollins

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry. I study hybrid organic-inorganic materials in the lab of Professor Dianne Xiao where my research is focused on templating acid–base bifunctional sites in metal–organic framework (MOF) pores for cooperative catalysis, and ultimately developing robust catalysts for applications in biomass upgrading. I currently serve on the Chemistry Diversity and Equity Steering Committee, and hope to expand my outreach efforts with the Clean Energy Institute.
