Energy Storage
I research macro-energy systems and electrochemistry at Caltech where I develop new sustainable engineering curriculum. I am a Chemistry Ph.D. candidate with a minor in Environmental Science and Engineering. My advisor Nate Lewis and I collaborate with Ken Caldeira at Carnegie Science and Steve Davis at UC Irvine.
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.
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.
