We study the science that governs energy conversion and storage, with the goals of developing technologies that allow for high-efficiency applications using low-cost materials. By designing and synthesizing materials with desired features at the atomic scale, we enable processes that hold great promises for next generation energy-related applications. Upon completion, we expect the results to change how our energy is provided and utilized.

June is always a bittersweet time in the group as we celebrate accomplishments while saying farewell to members embarking on new adventures. This year, we congratulate three outstanding graduate students:
Jamie will be joining Time Tech Spectra, where he will focus on expanding the company's operations across the United States and Europe.
Boqiang will continue his scientific career as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Dr. Aisulu Aitbekova, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
Brooke will begin a postdoctoral appointment with the MIT Mobility Initiative, where she will collaborate across disciplines and continue exploring impactful solutions that help close the loop on clean energy technologies.
We thank Jamie, Boqiang, and Brooke for their many contributions to the group and for helping create a supportive, collaborative, and intellectually vibrant environment. While we will miss having them in the lab, we are proud of all they have accomplished and excited to see what they achieve next.
