I am a PhD Candidate in Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) program at University of Waterloo. My research focuses on the development of energy storage devices, particularly on electrochemical systems called redox flow batteries. My research interests include in situ characterization of electrochemical processes, advanced functional materials and multi-physics modeling of electrochemical systems. I have been the recipient of several awards for my research including the prestigious NSERC post-graduate doctoral award from Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada and the “President Graduate Scholarship” from University of Waterloo. I have been awarded the “Waterloo Institute Nanofellowship (WIN)” and "Graduate Research Paper" awards two years in a row for my work on zinc-cerium redox flow batteries. I am also the founder and president of the University of Waterloo Electrochemical Society Student Chapter (WatECS).
