Research Interests
My research students and I are studying the properties of extremely concentrated water-based electrolytes. These types of solutions are being proposed as components in rechargeable batteries that are safer and cheaper than the current commercial options. We are using experimental and computational techniques to study the electrical stability, conductivity, and viscosity of various electrolyte solutions. These fundamental experiments will give future scientists and engineers the data to formulate electrolyte solutions that meet their needs.
