Research Interests

My research focuses on the intersection of performance, technology adoption, and public policy for energy technologies. Much of my work examines electrochemical energy storage, and the role that it can play in decarbonizing electricity, transportation, and manufacturing.

Students

I recruit students through both Mechanical Engineering and Sustainability Engineering and Environmental Environmental Engineering. Interested undergraduate students should email me with a copy of their resume, a brief list of related classes, and their research interests. Prospective graduate students should email me with a copy their CV and a brief statement of their research interests, and how their interests connect to my research areas.
