Research and development related to the use of graphene in conductive inks, sensors, supercapacitors, batteries and membranes; technical lead on collaborative ARPA-E funded project towards the development of of high energy density, fast charging Li-S batteries through both cathode development and lithium metal protection strategies; responsible for set-up and operation of pilot scale fiber spinning line for producing high strength, graphene-filled polymer fibers.
Princeton University Research
Graduate Research Assistant
9/2007 - 8/2012
Carried out research on the production of functionalized graphene and processing of this material into high surface area electrodes for energy storage involving electrochemical double-layer charging. A model system was also developed to study the fundamentals of double-layer charging using densely tiled monolayers of functionalized graphene. Using this system, the theoretical capacitance limits were explored as a function of graphene functionalization and lattice disorder.
