- B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, 2013
Research interests:
My research focuses on the development and application of efficient computational schemes for studying interfacial electrochemical phenomena at the atomistic level. I am particularly interested in designing and understanding materials for energy storage and energy conversion applications.
Current projects include:
- Assessing the role of environmental effects on the electroreduction of CO2 over copper catalysts.
- Developing descriptors of ionic liquid performance for energy storage applications.
- Modeling the stability of alloy catalysts under fuel cell operating conditions.
