Today, Jackie Yik, the very first PhD student that I co-supervised at @chem_angstrom @angstromABC , successfully defended his PhD thesis, titled "A Self-Driving Lab for Battery Electrolyte Design." The faculty opponent was Prof. Corsin Battaglia (Empa, Switzerland).

Jackie is now on the job hunt. He has been systematically trained at the intersection of materials chemistry, electrochemistry, operando characterization, lab automation, Bayesian optimization, and machine learning. I give him my highest recommendation. #battchat

Happy to be listed as a 2025 Rising Star in Materials Science by @ACSPublications! I contributed to the special issue with an invited perspective on the fundamentals and applications of online electrochemical mass spectrometry (OEMS) for studying gas evolution in sustainable aqueous batteries (https://t.co/OOncicNeQ7). I have been passionate about methodology development and am commercializing the product with my colleagues through our startup, Metrilytics (https://t.co/ZBo4IYp6Ny). Feel free to contact me if you would like to know more!
