PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS
Simon is interested in development and implementation of materials and technologies for carbon capture, the interface between carbon capture technologies with carbon conversion to develop a circular carbon economy, and systems analysis for carbon and energy technologies. He leads DOE-funded projects spanning topics from fundamental investigations of carbon capture materials degradation mechanisms to development of hybrid reactive capture processes that integrate carbon capture and conversion. He leads the Carbon Capture pillar of the LLNL Carbon Initiative.
