Biography

Charles McCrory is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan, specializing in physical chemistry and macromolecular science engineering. His research focuses on the electrochemical interconversion of small molecules, particularly in the context of energy and environmental chemistry. He utilizes electroanalytical studies to elucidate mechanisms in electrocatalytic systems, with the aim of rationally designing next-generation catalyst materials. The McCrory Lab works on upcycling industrial waste and converting CO2 into valuable fuels and chemical feedstocks, developing technologies that allow for careful study and control of electrocatalytic processes. His group emphasizes kinetic mechanistic analysis and is involved in surface science and electrochemistry to observe reactive intermediates in catalytic pathways, which informs the development of efficient electrocatalytic materials. McCrory has received several awards for his mentorship and research contributions, including the John Dewey Award and the NSF Career Award.
