Our research focuses on advancing next-generation battery energy storage technologies to enable a sustainable and electrified future. We investigate fundamental and applied aspects of battery technologies, spanning all-solid-state, Li-metal, Na-ion, and aqueous zinc-ion chemistries. Key areas include electrodes and electrolyte design, interfacial stability, and electro-chemo-mechanical coupling, supported by operando diagnostics and advanced ex spectroscopic analyses. By integrating materials innovation with scalable processing strategies, we aim to overcome bottlenecks in energy density, safety, and durability. Our work bridges fundamental science with translational impact, fostering collaborations with industry and contributing to the commercialization of breakthrough battery technologies.
