The project is about developing next-generation battery technologies by developing innovative polymer/gel electrolytes and designing strategies to mitigate chemo-mechanical instabilities in the electrode materials. The details of the position will be discussed with the selected candidates.

Stay tune for more as Bret Marckx is working relentlessly to investigate charge storage mechanisms on cathode materials by synchronizing operando mechanical techniques such as curvature, DIC and QCM-D measurements.

Many thanks to Hoffman Richard from Bruker and Archana Jaiswal from Nanoscience Instruments for the on-site installation and training graduate students, Debash, Minal and Bret in the group. @cbee-umbc.bsky.social
