Research description: Polymeric ionic liquids

My research focuses on the fundamentals of how metal ions move through dense, solvent-free polymer electrolytes and how these fundamental insights can be leveraged to create efficient ion-transport membranes for batteries, fuel cells, and beyond.

Bio:

I grew up in the city of Minneapolis and attended the University of Minnesota, where I studied chemical engineering. At the U of M, I studied polymer excipients tailored for the delivery of poorly-soluble pharmaceutical products and the self-assembly and mechanics of biobased and renewable brush polymers in my undergraduate research under the supervision of professors Theresa Reineke and Frank Bates. Currently you will find me in the lab or on my bike in Santa Barbara.
