Education:

  • Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, 2018
  • 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.
