Andrew earned a Ph.D. (May 2025) from Ohio University, advised by Dr. Jason Trembly at the Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE). As an alternative to ethylene production via steam cracking, Andrew’s dissertation research involved solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrocatalyst and process development for ethane oxidative dehydrogenation and investigated impacts of feed stream humidity on process performance and electrocatalyst structure. Additionally, Andrew’s ISEE work contributed to the development and scale-up of an electrochemically-promoted carbon dioxide mineralization process for carbon dioxide capture and produced water treatment. His M.S. work involved process development for catalytic hydrogenation of lactose to lactitol. Prior to graduate research he performed instrumentation and laboratory work in the chemical industry. He holds bachelor’s degrees majoring in chemistry and studio art and an associate’s degree in electrical engineering technology.
