About

Beyond the lab

By day I study why batteries fail. Off the clock, I'm usually reading, out on a run or a bike, or at a chessboard.

Work

I'm a research scientist at UL Research Institutes, where I focus on the safety and performance of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery technologies. My work spans experimental design, cell and module testing, and characterization — and outside of the lab, I contribute to the Volta Foundation's annual Battery Report and review manuscripts for MDPI's Batteries and Energies journals. For the full picture of my research background, see the CV.

Outside of work

I read a lot — mostly economics, philosophy, and psychology — bike, run, and play chess.

Reading

Economics, philosophy, and psychology, mostly. I track what I'm reading on Goodreads.

Biking and Running

I ride and run regularly — it's my usual way of thinking things through outside of work.

Chess

A long-running hobby. Always up for a game.

Research & articles worth reading

Manuscripts, papers, and articles — not necessarily my own — that I think are worth a read. Each links out to the original source.
