Carrero applies his catalysis work to the upgrading of natural gas, crude oil and biomass.<\/p>\n<p>Carrero\u2019s research explores how chemicals can be produced from these natural resources, which could grow the global economy significantly as researchers find more active and selective catalysts to apply toward producing highly demanded chemicals, according to Carrero. His ultimate goal is to gain new fundamental insights into how heterogeneous catalysts could positively affect natural resource markets that are increasingly using natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>As a professor, Carrero wants to pass along his knowledge and experience so future engineers will better utilize the nation\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to do my best to mentor my students to gain knowledge in such an important area of catalysis, Carrero said. \u201cNatural gas is offering a lot of new job opportunities in the United States because it\u2019s increasingly becoming the main source of energy we have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Carrero, assistant professor in chemical engineering, has been around the world and back again.
