Sachem High School North junior Angelina Thotam was accepted into the High School Research Program at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Thotam will be working with Dr. Ashley Head in the Center for Functional Nanomaterials and will be investigating the behavior of a copper catalyst during methanol formation. The research is ultimately attempting to determine the specific nature of the chemical reaction occurring on the surface of the copper catalyst to improve the process of making methanol from carbon dioxide.
