Contribute to a team highly engaged in all aspects of battery materials research from material synthesis, characterization, fabrication of coin and pouch cells, testing for electrochemical performance, and post-mortem analysis. Contribute by using optical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical methods to interrogate materials and cells to understand underlying physical and chemical processes. Develop and apply in-operando and in-situ spectroelectrochemical characterization tools. Use laser ablation to structure electrodes for improved performance, durability, and lower cost. Work with universities to measure physical phenomena such as battery gas and interfacial layers.

+ Measure physical battery phenomena using optical techniques such as Raman, FTIR, laser absorption spectroscopy, sum frequency generation, and similar
+ Apply laser theory and mathematical modeling of laser/material interactions to optimize the physical measurements and build new laser systems as needed
