Research
I currently work in Prof. Sossina Haile's energy materials research group where I study the material chemistry of proton conducting solid acids. My recent work focuses on creating and characterizing solid solutions within the ternary M3H(SeO4)2 (M = Cs, K, Rb) system through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction experiments.
This summer I will join the Materials for Energy Conversion Group at the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Engineering (Empa) to develop carbon coatings to improve interfacial behavior in sodium solid-state batteries.
I previously worked with
Prof. Robert Topper
at Cooper Union where I conducted density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations of
HF clusters.
I also developed
Lennard-Jones parameters
of noble gas clusters for TransRot, a molecular simulation software.
