Hannah S. Shafaat

Hannah S. Shafaat's research focuses on metal-containing proteins (metalloenzymes) and small synthetic metal complexes that mimic them, studying how metal centers like iron-sulfur clusters, nickel, and heme groups enable reactions such as hydrogen production, carbon dioxide and nitrogen conversion, and electron transfer. This work combines spectroscopy, protein engineering, and electrochemistry to understand and design catalysts relevant to clean energy technologies like electrolysis and fuel-related chemistry. Students in this group would likely engage with both biological systems (engineered proteins) and inorganic chemistry techniques.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a notable peak in 2021, a dip in 2023, and a recent increase in 2024-2025, suggesting overall steady to growing activity rather than a decline.
