About

Hannah Frame is a PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University studying Chemistry. Her research explores the catalytic degradation of aqueous micropollutants including fungicides, BPA, and algal toxins. Each project focuses on identifying the chemical kinetics involved in the Fe-TAML/H2O2 catalyzed oxidation and final product identification. A secondary focus of her work is inhibition of TAML catalysts by substrates and the stability of the resting state catalyst. She also serves as a representative for chemistry graduate students in the Graduate Student Assembly and on EHS’ Laboratory Safety Committee.
