Mona Abdelgaid, Ph.D.
Chemical Engineer | BIDMaP Scholar | Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Berkeley & Berkeley Lab
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher with a Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet fellowship at the University of California Berkeley and Berkeley Lab. My academic journey began with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Montana State University, where I also engaged in diverse research projects ranging from food product development to biofilm engineering. Then, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh under the mentorship of Prof. Giannis Mpourmpakis, focusing on computational catalyst discovery for hydrocarbon conversion reactions. My research has included multi-institutional collaborations with esteemed institutions like Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Chalmers University of Technology, Purdue University, and Indian Institute of Technology Indore, where I spearheaded the computational efforts, providing crucial theoretical insights into various catalytic processes. My passion lies in material discovery, green chemistry, and developing innovative solutions to combat climate change through sustainable technologies.
