From molecular interactions
to sustainable systems.
We uncover how interfaces govern transport and transformations across scales—integrating materials design, electrochemistry, and operando synchrotron X-ray methods.

OUR QUESTIONS
We connect molecular interactions to material structure and device behavior.
Dynamic Electrochemical Interfaces
How do ions, water, gases, phases, and reactions reorganize at working electrochemical interfaces?
Selective Transport under Confinement
How do hydration, solvation, surface chemistry, and multiscale structure determine which species move through confined materials?
Synchrotron X-rays at Working Interfaces
How can operando X-ray scattering, spectroscopy, and imaging reveal evolving interfaces, transport, and transformations across materials and functional systems?
