The Dismukes research group conducts fundamental and applied research in the areas of catalysis, renewable energy, and sustainable production of chemicals via biological and chemical approaches. The biological approach focuses on investigations of the light reactions and central carbon metabolism in photosynthetic microorganisms. The chemical approach involves synthesis of bioinspired electrocatalysts and their integration within electrolyzers and artificial photosynthetic systems.
