Â鶹ÊÓƵ:

Peter is a co-advised, second-year PhD student in the LIFE and Electrobuffs laboratories. He completed his B.S. and M.Eng. in chemical engineering and material science, respectively, at Cornell University. Afterwards, he moved to Wisconsin to work with energy storage solutions in the automotive industry as a product engineer at Clarios. Still interested in understanding electrochemical systems, he moved to Colorado to pursue his PhD. His work involves understanding ion transport in various electrochemical systems, such as membranes and nanopores. When Peter is off the clock, there is a 120% chance that he is doing something else. He likes to go for runs, play soccer, hike/camp the mountains, and train capoeira. On his slower days, he could be jamming to music, perfecting one of his mother’s recipes, reading with tea in hand, or rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender. A fun fact about Peter is that he has motorcycled around three of the Great Lakes (two more to go!!). Ask him about his Pokémon Go collection or jazz nights at the Jungle!

Research:

Peter’s research efforts involve using the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations and reduced-order methods to gain insights into ion transport for different systems. He is currently developing a reduced-order model for bipolar membranes and working on understanding the driving forces of electrolyte transport within nanoporous channels.
