OUR APPROACH

Picture
Picture

Solar Fuels

Investigation of high-temperature thermochemical and low-temperature photoelectrochemical pathways for solar energy driven water and carbon dioxide splitting to produce hydrogen and syngas
Picture

Thermal Energy Storage

Fundamental understanding and evaluation of heat transfer performance of materials for thermal energy storage applications. We are specifically seeking to understand radiative transport for temperature thermal energy storage applications and also thermochemical energy storage by exploiting energy changes in chemical reactions

Wastewater Resource Recovery 

Exploration of photoelectrochemical approaches for wastewater nutrient and energy recovery. Specifically investigating the viability of solar-driven tertiary pathways for nitrogen-recovery from wastewater sources

Metals Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing of metals and metal alloys can profoundly alter the production and time-to-market of various components and products. We are especially interested in the evaluation of the multimode heat-transfer processes involved in this process and how additively manufactured metals and metal alloys behave in supercritical carbon dioxide environments at high-temperatures (up to 1100 C).
