Overview

We study novel materials, chemistries, and devices for energy applications, with a current focus on rechargeable battery technologies. In particular, we seek to identify, understand, and control the molecular-level phenomena that govern macroscopic material properties and device performance. Advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and electrochemical methods are cornerstones of these investigations. Thematically, our research lies at the interface of chemical engineering, materials science, physical chemistry, and electrochemistry.
