Christian received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from The University of Texas at El Paso in 2024, where he focused on computational investigations of transition metal photoredox catalysts. He earned his M.S. in Environment, Quality, and Prevention Management Systems from Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (2018) and his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Escuela Politécnica Nacional (2016). He joined Rice University as a J. Evans Attwell Welch Postdoctoral Fellow in August 2024, supported by the Smalley-Curl Institute. His research in our group employs electronic structure methods to advance the development of photo- and electrocatalysts for removing perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. He was recently named among the top 100 CAS 2025 Future Leaders by the American Chemical Society.
