Research Interests

My research group focuses on incisively characterizing and understanding the physics and chemistry that underlie the functioning of materials for sustainable energy as well as synthesis pathways. We focus on energy storage, solar materials, hydrogen storage, and materials and process to address clean water challenges, and use X-ray and neutron scattering, together with X-ray spectroscopy and imaging often operando and in situ. The insight gained enables the rationale design and control of properties, performance and synthesis pathways and can enable the creation of a road map to the development and discovery of next generation materials and processes.

Electrochemical energy storage, including Li-ion and beyond Li-ion batteries. Our research includes;

• Developing Li-metal anodes. Part of the Battery 500 () consortium.
