I am a postdoc at Carnegie Science Stanford advised by Ken Caldeira and Steve Davis. I earned a PhD in Chemistry at Caltech and Environmental Science & Engineering minor advised by Nate Lewis. I combine techno-economics with materials chemistry to advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar systems.
Laws in several U.S. states mandate zero-carbon electricity systems based primarily on renewable technologies such as wind and solar power. Reliable and affordable electricity systems based on these naturally variable generation resources may depend on the ability to store large quantities of low-cost energy over long time-scales. My PhD thesis combined techno-economic analysis with materials chemistry to advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar electricity systems.
I model energy storage technologies and study their roles in renewable electricity systems. Long-duration energy storage can reduce costs of wind-solar-battery systems with currently available technology.
I develop earth-abundant and acid-stable water splitting catalysts to improve hydrogen fuel production. Hydrogen fuel can be used for long-duration energy storage.
