In October 2023, I joined the Professor Schoetz Lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where we focus on developing electrochemical materials and interfaces for next-generation batteries. My Ph.D. thesis, titled "Charge Storage Mechanisms," involves providing theoretical frameworks for energy storage devices that are less familiar to researchers. For instance, pseudocapacitors exhibit charge storage mechanisms distinct from traditional Faradaic or capacitive processes, and my role is to thoroughly explore and elucidate these mechanisms.
