Research

Batteries have profoundly reshaped society, from enabling rechargeable portable electronic devices to accelerating decarbonization efforts. Working with experimental collaborators in the Bao and Cui groups at Stanford, I use simulation and theory to study the molecular-level phenomena governing battery electrolytes, both in the bulk and near the electrodes.

Enabling fast redox kinetics through solvent asymmetry

Correlated ion transport in high concentration electrolytes

Formation mechanism and structure of ion aggregates

Field theory of lithium charge transfer kinetics
