Gregory Collinge

Gregory Collinge, Ph.D., is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Gonzaga University. His research focuses on catalytic processes, surface chemistry, and computational modeling. He explores phenomena such as adsorption dynamics, catalyst stability, and reaction mechanisms at reactive interfaces. His work integrates ab initio calculations, molecular dynamics, and microkinetic modeling to advance understanding of heterogeneous catalysis and materials design.

Key research themes include single-atom catalysis, surface reactivity of metals and oxides (e.g., Fe, TiO₂, CeO₂), and the role of surface defects in catalytic activity. He investigates systems like ethanol conversion over mixed oxides, oxygen activation on ceria-supported catalysts, and proton-coupled electron transfer mechanisms. His studies address challenges in oxidation resistance, catalyst deactivation, and optimizing active site distribution.

Collinge’s publications (2016–2024) emphasize predictive modeling of catalytic systems, entropy effects in reaction networks, and the design of stable, high-performance materials. His work bridges theoretical insights with practical applications in energy and environmental chemistry. No awards or grants are explicitly noted in the provided text.
