Collaborations
Lithium Ion Conduction
In collaboration with Dr. Ralph Colby
The focus of this research is the design of lithium ion-conducting zwitterions that enable ion diffusion without aggregation as an alternative to the hazardous and flammable solvent electrolytes currently used in Li-ion batteries.
Biomimetic Membranes
In collaboration with Dr. Manish Kumar
The focus of this research is to harness the self-assembly of polymers in order to produce biomimetic separation membranes, drawing inspiration from ion channels directing transport into and out of cells.
