We use Chemistry and Materials Science to develop devices for a sustainable energy cycle, an important aspect of human survival. This means facilitating large-scale utilization of solar and wind energy. We also study charge transfer in redox enzymes that perform small molecules (N2 and O2) catalysis relevant to energy cycle.
Our work focuses on fundamental understanding and design of chemical interfaces, especially in electrochemical systems. We fabricate materials, specifically designed toward interfacial processes, which are essential in the system level performance of electrochemical devices, and mimic biological systems. We use in-situ characterization techniques to elucidate the interplay of materials and function. We prepare inter-layers, thin films, and molecular assemblies and employ advanced electrochemical and laser spectroscopy techniques to study energy devices and biological systems.
