Working under Prof. Robert Savinell on deep eutectic solvents and soft nanoparticle systems for energy storage applications.

• Design deep eutectic solvents (DES) and soft nanoparticle (SNP) systems.
• Develop an understanding of how the transport mechanism and electron transfer reactions occur in deep eutectic solvents (DES).
• Engaged research activates on The Breakthrough Electrolytes for Energy Storage (BEES) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Case Western Reserve University.
• Metal salt electrolytes employed for redox flow batteries, including Fe-Zn and Sn-based systems.
• Interfacial studies, mechanisms, and kinetics in protic CoHBEs (Concentrated Hydrogen-Bonded Electrolytes)
