Evercloak Inc. Corporate Strategy & Development
Scientific Advisor
10/2018 - Present
Evercloak is a material innovation company, revolutionizing industrial processes with low-cost nano films and membranes. These films are increasingly used for chemical purification, energy storage, corrosion prevention, sensing, and smart packaging. Our initial efforts are focused on helping gas companies maximize their profits by offering a gas dehydration membrane solution that aims to be 70% more energy efficient than current drying technologies.

Vorbeck Materials Research
Senior Research Associate, R&D
09/2012 - 07/2014
Research and development related to the use of graphene in conductive inks, sensors, supercapacitors, batteries and membranes; technical lead on collaborative ARPA-E funded project towards the development of of high energy density, fast charging Li-S batteries through both cathode development and lithium metal protection strategies; responsible for set-up and operation of pilot scale fiber spinning line for producing high strength, graphene-filled polymer fibers.
Princeton University Research
Graduate Research Assistant
09/2007 - 08/2012
Carried out research on the production of functionalized graphene and processing of this material into high surface area electrodes for energy storage involving electrochemical double-layer charging. A model system was also developed to study the fundamentals of double-layer charging using densely tiled monolayers of functionalized graphene. Using this system, the theoretical capacitance limits were explored as a function of graphene functionalization and lattice disorder.
