Li-ion and Na-ion Batteries

Atomistic simulations accelerate the development and optimization of intercalation batteries by providing molecular-level insights to predict the performance and stability of new materials, optimize ion transport, and mitigate degradation mechanisms before ever stepping foot in a lab.

My research centers on three key areas:

• Characterization and performance prediction of novel cathode materials;
  
• optimization of ionic conduction in electrolyte mixtures; and
  
• understanding the molecular processes behind solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) initiation and evolution.
