Biography

I am an electrochemist and have worked extensively on charge transfer processes in inorganic materials in the context of gas-to-fuel conversions, Li-ion batteries and brain-machine interfaces. As a postdoc with Bryan McCloskey at UC Berkeley, I worked on quantifying interfacial degradation processes in high energy Li-ion battery materials, and developed scalable methods of surface passivation. Previously, as a graduate student with Prof. Christopher Chidsey and Prof. Robert Waymouth at Stanford University, I worked on designing molecular electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction using free energy maps. Most recently, I was the electrochemical engineering lead at Neuralink Corporation.

When I’m not making sense of voltammograms and impedance spectra, I enjoy hiking, tennis and classical music.
