Young Gul Hur works in materials science, focusing on the design and synthesis of zeolites (porous crystalline materials used as catalysts) and other solid catalysts. Much of the research examines how catalyst structure and composition affect chemical reactions such as converting natural gas or heavy oil into fuels, hydrocarbons, and other useful chemicals. This work has applications in energy conversion technologies like gas-to-liquid and hydrocracking processes used in the petroleum and chemical industries.
