Below is a list of the research projects and a short discription to each project.
Studying materials for fuel-cell catalysts
This project focuses on understanding what influences H and O binding on alloyies, so that we can understand what makes a good fuel-cell catalyst. The ultimate goal is to be able to design effective and economic catalysts.
Studying materials for Li-ion cathode materials
This project focuses on understanding what influences the Li-ion diffusion energy barrier so that we can better design cathode materials.
Finding applications for BCTA
This project investigates how BCTA can be used to further understanding of the nature of various types of chemical bonds.
Infrastructure for helping the future generation learning
This project is a collection of improvements and creation of infrastructures that will help this course be more effective in the future.
