Electrochemistry at the Nanoscale

We develop quantitative electrochemical methods, theory, and scanning-probe instrumentation to reveal how interfacial reactions evolve across space, time, and complex chemical environments.

Research

Research at the electrochemical interface

01

High-Throughput Electrosynthesis

Use localized electrochemistry for combinatorial screening and precision synthesis of nanoscale materials.

02

Nano-Electrocatalysis & Interfacial Dynamics

Resolve spatial heterogeneity and control water, ions, adsorbates, and time-dependent reaction environments.

03

Electroanalytical Instrumentation

Develop SECCM, nanopipette methods, correlative microscopy, modeling, and autonomous measurement workflows.

04

Metal Deposition & Dissolution

Connect local structure to nucleation, growth, breakdown, and dissolution kinetics at individual sites.
