Many things I learned in undergraduate I didn't think would be relevant and turned out be very relevant to solve complex problems and I believe showing the importance of what you...

...and Chromatographic techniques. Specifically, the project I involved is a subcritical water dehydrooxygenation of lignin to methylphenols, which are then converted to resins and coatings. The goal of my project is to chemically characterize the residue from the dehydrooxygenation and determine a possible mechanism for the reaction. For example, is the residue simply unreacted lignin, smaller breakdown products, or material which was cleaved and then recondensed? During his project, I gained analytical skills in gas...
