Professor
Bruce's principal research interests are in the areas of
catalysis, kinetics, molecular sieve synthesis, and molecular
modeling of catalyst surfaces. Some particular areas of
interest include the development of heterogeneous chiral
catalysts that can be used in the production of pharmaceutical
and agricultural products; preparation of molecular sieve
materials using metal complexes or polymers as templates;
development of inorganic membranes for molecular sensor
applications.
Another area of interest includes the development of new
materials and processes aimed at pollution abatement. This
research involves the design of new catalyst supports to
be used in automotive exhaust treatment and the development
of advanced waste treatment processes, such as sonochemical
oxidation and supercritical water oxidation.
