Research interests: porous materials, electrodes, energy storage
Professor Gostick has been exploring the use of electrospun nanofibrous materials for electrode applications. The electrospinning technique allows for substantial control over the structural properities of the resultant product, so they can customize materials with targeted structural properties. Simultaneously, his group has been developing various modelling tools to help in the search for the optimum structure of a given application, including overall cell scale models of performance, down to sub-pore scale models of fluid flow and reaction.
He has recently demonstrated materials that performed significantly better than off-the-shelf commercial materials in Vanadiaum flow battery tests conducted in collaboration with colleagues at MIT.
Professor Gostick's current research focuses on measuring, modelling and making porous materials for applications like electrodes for flow batteries. He recently co-authored a paper in Small about the use of X-ray computed tomography (CT) to visualize porous materials in 3D.
He is also the lead developer of two open source software packages. These software packages are vital in his lab team's research into the characterization and analysis of porous material images. You can find out more by clicking here.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
