Postdocs and Students
Drew began his PhD in chemical engineering in 2019 and works under Prof. Lauren Marbella. His research determines if long-established design principles for lithium-ion electrolytes are applicable to potassium-ion batteries. Potassium batteries have gained popularity as an affordable chemistry that relieves strain on the volatile lithium supply chain. In his research, Drew primarily focuses on characterization using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. He received B.S. degrees in chemical engineering and systems engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, and has been awarded the DoD NDSEG and NSF GRFP fellowships.
