    • Research



    My research interest is in understanding the physical/chemical changes in working electrodes during the electrochemical reactions, which underlie the operation of electrochemical systems, e.g. lithium-ion batteries. A significant part of my research involves developing and applying in-situ and operando techniques that enable tracking of ionic transport in electrochemical energy storage systems.
