Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher focuses on batteries and energy storage materials, particularly understanding how lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery components degrade, fail, and can be improved for faster charging and better performance in extreme conditions (like low temperatures). The work combines materials characterization, mechanical testing, and chemistry to study battery electrodes, interfaces, and failure mechanisms, with some additional projects on sensors, pipeline monitoring, and thermoelectric materials.
