Dr. Maria Ferree
Postdoctoral Fellow
Maria Ferree is a postdoctoral researcher with a strong focus on photocatalysis, solar fuels and sustainable energy conversion.
Her work explores how light-driven processes can be used to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemical products. She is particularly interested in materials and methods that support clean and efficient energy technologies, including gas-phase reactions and modulation spectroscopy.
