Welcome to the home page of the Lund Research Group
Carl Lund's research group is engaged in the study of kinetics, catalysis and reaction engineering. This site describes the past and present research activities of the group, and additionally describes projects Carl worked on while at Exxon and as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers!). Not surprisingly, the "People" heading above provides some information about the people in the group. It's also the place to start if you are interested the courses Carl teaches here at the University at Buffalo (Go Bulls!) - but also see the TExT Project. The "Projects" heading leads to brief descriptions of past and present research projects undertaken by the group, including listings of publications and presentations from each project. That heading also includes descriptions of computer programs that the group has developed with links to those that are available for download. The "Publications" heading leads to a complete listing of papers, presentations, theses and dissertations from the group.
