Kulkarni Research Group

I joined the group as an undergraduate student in 2022 after becoming interested in the development and design of earth-abundant catalysts to reduce the socio-economic and environmental costs of developing sustainable technologies. I am currently investigating how varying humid and dry conditions affect atomistic interactions between guest molecules and extra-framework cations in zeolites. I am also very involved in the UC Davis AIChE Chem-E-Car team, where I act as the student liaison and lead the power sub-team. Outside academics, I enjoy reading, listening to music, drawing, and playing the violin.
