Advances in electrochemical devices such as batteries, fuel cells, and water-splitting membranes are making global transition towards clean and renewable energy more possible than ever. Foundational to (electro)chemical and catalytic transformations in these devices are a stable…
Electroencephalography, or EEG, is a tool for measuring brain activity with applications in several different areas, such as medical research and video gaming. Desired signals often occur in the presence of very strong noise, meaning traditional techniques are not always suited …
Renewable energy is being increasingly deployed at both small and large scales. At large scale, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources prohibits a full integration with the current power grid. Among others, redox flow battery is a promising energy storage technology…
Lithium-ion batteries are common in everyday life, while being strategically critical to the decarbonization and electrification of transportation. To meet higher range demands and lower costs per kWh of storage, higher energy density battery chemistries relying on new anode che…
Intercalation in layered materials is a rapidly growing area of research to develop next‐generation energy‐storage and optoelectronic devices, including batteries, sensors, transistors, and electrically tunable displays. Advances in few‐layer intercalation are addressed in the h…
Dynamic windows enable electronic control of light and heat flow and demonstrate potential for increased energy efficiency in buildings and improved well-being for the people inside them. Despite four decades of research and development, the traditional approaches to dynamic win…
Climate change is one of the major challenges of our current era. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by anthropogenic sources has steadily increased since the industrial revolution, in particular CO 2 , which reached a maximum historical concentration of 409.8 ppm i…
Spin-based electronics seek to utilize the properties of electron spin in order to develop next-generation devices with novel functionalities and applications. As with conventional electronics, semiconductors play a critical role in spintronics by allowing for the active manipul…
I explore human experience through the lens of the natural world while calling attention to preservation and its changing role. Encrusted with crystals my work explores fossilized fragments of our everyday world that speak to our current place in time and our connection to the n…
Throughout human history, innovation has always met society's needs. In most recent decades, the human population has turned its attention indoors, where people spend almost 90% of their time, over half of which is spent looking at a screen. During this time spent inside, the on…
