Once the first Ph.D. student and became a dear friend, Bertan stopped at our home on his way to Michigan from Colorado 😇🤣 before starting his new job. We had a wonderful time last weekend in snowland MD.

Our group has received an NSF-DEVCOM INTERN Supplementary award. Bret Marckx will spend about 5 months at the Battery Science Branch in DEVCOM Army in 2025. This is a unique opportunity for Bret to gain experience at the Army Research Lab and will be beneficial for his career growth

It was a long and exciting day in our laboratory! We installed the ALPHA-II FT-IR and will move it inside the glove box after new year! We also installed QCM-D QSense Explorer instrument with electrochemical module, and even we performed first electrodeposition of MnO2 electrode on it today!

Very excited about this new grant from DOE to work on the chemo-mechanics of electrochemical materials for environmental remediation with Prof. Xiaowei Teng at WPI! We will be looking for a prospective Ph.D. student to join our group in Fall 2025. Please RT!
