Research interests
As a Schmidt Science Fellow, Elvis focuses on the integration of upstream carbon capture and its downstream utilization processes. Working with Professor T. Alan Hatton at MIT and Professor Ted Sargent at Northwestern University, Elvis is exploring integrated carbon capture and utilization from molecular to process levels, machine learning to inspire smart carbon capture and utilization, and considerations for upscaling carbon capture and utilization at the nexus of technology, policy, and business.
