The primary focus of our research effort is in the fundamental studies of electrochemical reactions, electrocatalyst function and the design of new materials for furthering electrochemical technologies. Our lab is multidisciplinary, combining electrochemical, analytical, materials and physical chemistry techniques.

Main Research Goals

  • Gain deeper fundamental understanding of electrocatalyst reactivity and selectivity
  • Design, characterize, and evaluate new energy conversion and storage electrode materials
  • Develop systematic methods of studying the mechanistic pathways of electrochemical reactions
  • Utilize and develop in-situ methods for detecting reaction intermediates to infer reaction pathways
