A chemical engineering education provides powerful training in the foundational principles that underlie all energy conversion technologies, including transport, kinetics, and thermodynamics. In my research, we apply these core principles to better understand the nonequilibrium transport and conversion of energy in its most basic microscopic forms – as excitons, electrons, and phonons – with the ultimate goal of creating new advanced materials with transformative capabilities.
