Brewing better batteries: Faculty Nutshell Talks 2026 YouTube video by Center for Communicating Science at Virginia Tech

Excited to share that my Faculty Nutshell Talk is now online!

In this short piece, I talk about how our lab looks to nature for inspiration in energy storage 🔋🍄⚡️✨

The pictures of the research team and collaborators.

For our lab at Virginia Tech, we are hiring a postdoctoral scholar to advance catalytic and energy storage systems. This is a collaborative project, and expertise in synthesis, photocatalysis, electrochemistry, or energy storage is ideal. For details see here: spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/32936

Grateful for a productive and energizing second #NICER retreat! Exciting research progress, meaningful collaboration, and a team truly coming together to drive impact. #NatureInspiredSolutions #EnergyResearch ⚡️🌱✨🔋☀️

Dimerization in TMPA-Based Copper(I) Complexes: Implications for Redox Kinetics and Thermodynamics Copper complexes of tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA, TMPA, or TPMA) are widely studied for their redox activity and catalytic versatility. This study investigates solvent-dependent speciation of coppe...

🚨💥New Publication Alert💥🚨

Investigation of the redox and electron transfer kinetics of TMPA-supported mono versus dimeric copper(I) complexes and offers insights into how the nuclearity affects the redox behavior.
