Libby Brungardt

SCGSR Fellow

Libby Brungardt is a 5th year PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, being advised by Prof. Siddarth Krishna. She has been studying the selective catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O-SCR) over Fe-exchanged zeolites, focusing on active site characterization, and generating a structure-function relationship for this system. Libby is here as a DOE Scientific Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) award recipient, hosted by Dr. Simon Bare and working with the Co-Access team at SLAC. During her internship, Libby is assisting the Co-Access team in operating beamlines 9-3 and 10-2 for facility users while also working on understanding the dynamic active site structure of ionic Fe during both N2O-SCR and partial methane oxidation.
