My research interests focus on disordered carbon materials due to their sustainability and tunability to target a wide variety of technological applications, in particular ion batteries, gas storage and air and water purification.
I joined Imperial in 2021 with a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellowship to work in the optimisation of carbon electrodes for sodium-ion batteries, a more sustainable alternative to lithium-based chemistries. Here, I am working closely with experimentalists leaders in the field to guide the rational design of the active carbon material combining high-throughput atomistic simulation and machine-learning tools.
Prior to joining Imperial, I worked as Senior Computational Materials Scientist in Happy Electron Ltd. (2020), an international start-up company developing next-generation batteries in the electric vehicles industry with headquarters in London. Before moving to London I held positions at The University of Tokyo as JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow, and Curtin University as Research Associate in the Carbon Group.
