2020-Present: Ph.D. Student in Chemistry. University of Illinois at Chicago (USA).
Research Interests: I am currently researching the underpinnings of colloidal synthetic routes for metastable Li-conducting nanocrystals in a myriad of reaction settings, and applications in hybrid electrolytes. Additionally, I am furthering the development of micro-x-ray diffraction techniques for mapping local structures of Li-conducting materials to better understand how local chemistries impact lithium dynamics.
