Research Interests

My research focuses on developing next-generation battery materials for low-cost, high-energy-density batteries. This includes controlling electrode architectures to enhance performance, improving the cyclability of high-capacity Li metal anodes using carbon scaffold hosts, understanding interfaces and degradation issues in solid-state batteries, and using novel laser processing techniques to pattern surfaces and decrease electrode & solid electrolyte manufacturing times.
