In April 2024, I founded the Next Generation Battery Technology (NexBatt) Lab at the University of California, Riverside. Dedicated to advancing the frontier of energy storage, the NextBatt Lab focuses on developing cutting-edge battery and AI technologies that promise to revolutionize power sources for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics, thereby contributing significantly to global sustainability efforts. 

I am currently seeking passionate students and postdoctoral researchers to join our team. If you are interested in working on groundbreaking research in battery technology and contributing to a more sustainable future, please reach out to me via email at ruoqianl@ucr.edu.
