Engineering Energy Storage for a Sustainable Future

I am a chemical engineer developing advanced battery materials and manufacturing processes for next-generation batteries, with expertise spanning electrolyte engineering, electrode design, electrochemical interface science, and technical manufacturing troubleshooting. My work integrates electrochemistry, materials science, and battery engineering to develop high-performance energy-storage systems that combine scientific innovation with scalable manufacturing.

At the University of Illinois Chicago, I established the laboratory's battery research unit, building the infrastructure, standardized workflows, and testing protocols for reproducible battery fabrication and electrochemical evaluation. These efforts enabled the reliable assembly and testing of more than 800 rechargeable battery cells while fostering a strong culture of quality, reproducibility, and innovation.

My expertise spans the full battery-development pipeline, including electrolyte formulation, cathode and anode engineering, cell assembly, electrochemical diagnostics, advanced materials characterization, and failure analysis. I am passionate about translating fundamental research into commercially viable battery technologies by combining scientific discovery with engineering, manufacturing, and entrepreneurial thinking.

Before focusing on batteries, I spent more than eight years working in membrane science, ceramic materials, polymers, nanoparticles, and advanced manufacturing. This experience provides a strong foundation in materials processing and scalable engineering that continues to shape my approach to battery innovation.

My mission is to identify and apply reliable, innovative solutions in battery technology—from the laboratory to manufacturing to the road—closing the gap between electrochemical science and the production floor to enable reliable, cost-effective manufacturing at scale.
