Prof. Jason Adams
from PodCAT
Prof. Jason Adams completed his B.S. at Georgia Tech in 2015, where he studied the fundamentals of gas adsorption and diffusion on nanoporous carbon materials under Bill Koros. He then pursued a PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as an NSF graduate fellow under the mentorship of David Flaherty. There, he conducted fundamental studies investigating thermal and electrochemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide over noble metal catalysts, where he graduated in 2022. Afterward, Jason pursued postdoctoral studies at the California Institute of Technology under the mentorship of Karthish Manthiram to develop automated reactors and elucidate the mechanisms of electrochemical epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using water as the O-atom source. As of January 2025, Jason has begun his career as an assistant professor at Rice University, where he is building a group focused on fundamental experimental studies at the interface of electrochemistry, thermal heterogeneous catalysis, and organic chemistry. He aims to develop technologies for decarbonizing chemical industries by low-temperature conversions of commodity chemicals.
