People

I'm fascinated by how molecules react to the light they absorb. My work uses lasers to capture the motion of molecules in real time.
Associate Professor
I explore the ways that chemical engineering can address society's big challenges. My recent work looks at how we can use porous materials to improve efficiencies in energy conversion, storage and gas separations.
Associate Professor
As an electrochemist, I study the ways in which society can develop more efficient fuel cells, batteries and other similar technologies.
Professor of Physical Electrochemistry
