About
Rachel A. McCormick is a leading researcher in sustainable catalysis, with a focus on the dry reforming of methane—a critical process for converting greenhouse gases into valuable syngas. Her most cited work, "Grafted nickel-promoter catalysts for dry reforming of methane identified through high-throughput experimentation" (2021, 43 citations), exemplifies her innovative approach to catalyst discovery. By employing high-throughput experimentation, McCormick systematically identified and optimized nickel-based catalysts with promoters, achieving enhanced activity and stability for methane dry reforming. This contribution addresses a key challenge in the field: developing cost-effective, durable catalysts that can operate under industrially relevant conditions. Her work has significant implications for carbon capture and utilization, offering a pathway to mitigate climate change while producing clean energy precursors. McCormick’s research is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and practical impact, making her a prominent voice in heterogeneous catalysis. Her findings have been cited in over 40 publications, underscoring their influence on both academic and industrial efforts to advance sustainable chemical processes.
