Alumnus

I am currently a Postdoctoral Appointee at Argonne National Laboratory, a preeminent U.S. Department of Energy laboratory. My research focuses on tackling the fundamental chemical challenges of batteries and clean energy systems. By diving deep into interfacial phenomena and materials synthesis, I work to increase the safety, capacity, and life cycles of energy storage devices.

I earned my PhD in Chemistry from Michigan State University, where my academic foundation in materials design, spectroscopic analysis, and electrochemical testing was built.

With a strong background spanning organic/inorganic synthesis, electrochemistry, and advanced analytical characterization, I am seeking transition opportunities to industrial R&D. I aim to apply my expertise to develop scalable, next-generation energy products like solid-state batteries, high-performance anodes/cathodes, and innovative electrolyte formulations.
