Electrochemistry, catalysis, and spectroscopy

Welcome!

Our research group at the University of Massachusetts Amherst aims to tackle challenges in renewable energy and sustainability. We are interested in electrochemistry and catalysis for energy conversion and storage.

Our group aspires to understand fundamental aspects of interfacial reactions and to design functional materials/devices for the future energy and chemical industries. Primary interests of our research group include: electrochemical CO2 conversion, low temperature water electrolysis, and electrochemical biomass upgrade.

In our research, we combine materials synthesis, high-throughput screening, operando spectroscopy (i.e., Raman, IR, APPES, XAS), and electroanalytical techniques (CV, EIS etc.) to facilitate mechanism studies, accelerate materials discovery, and streamline device integration.
