Steven L. Tait studies how molecules organize themselves and react on solid surfaces, with a strong focus on catalysis—the use of materials to speed up chemical reactions. His work includes designing single-metal-atom catalysts (for example, platinum anchored to oxide supports) and building ordered molecular patterns through self-assembly, aiming to control chemical transformations at the atomic and molecular scale.
