Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Joy Zeng. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Joy Zeng is an Assistant Professor at Brown University, specializing in experimental electrocatalysis. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after obtaining her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Joy has worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, focusing on innovative approaches to tackle sustainability challenges. Her research group investigates the use of electricity to convert abundant and renewable waste feedstocks into essential fuels and chemicals. This includes a strong interest in energy storage, industrial decarbonization, and the valorization of waste materials such as plastics, PFAS, and methane. Her work aims to broaden the repertoire of reactions facilitated electrocatalytically while diving into the molecular intricacies of phenomena that unique electrode surfaces can induce to alter catalytic outcomes.
