Burcu Karagoz

Burcu received her BSc (2012) and MSc (2014) in Chemical Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul. She was awarded PhD in Chemical Engineering for structure sensitivity of enantioselective surface chemistry on curved Cu(hkl) single crystals from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA in 2019, working in the Andrew J. Gellman’s group. Following her PhD, she joined the Interface Science and Catalysis Group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory as a Research Associate Materials Science in 2019. During her Postdoc (2019-2022), she studied adsorption and catalytic mechanisms on metal oxide surfaces. Also, she developed and tested nanoscale gas cells for solid-gas interface studies to bridge the pressure and materials gap between surface science and real-life conditions under Ashley R. Head and Dario Stacchiola. Since March 2022, she has been a Beamline Scientist at B07.
