Babak Anasori's research centers on MXenes, a family of two-dimensional materials made of thin layers of metal carbides and nitrides, and related layered materials like MAX phases and graphene. His work spans the synthesis, structural characterization, and property tuning of these materials, along with their applications in energy storage (supercapacitors), gas sensing, electromagnetic shielding, water splitting, and CO2 conversion. Prospective students would likely work on making, processing, and testing these nanomaterials for use in electronics, energy devices, or catalysis.
