I am a physics PhD candidate working under Professor Aaron Deskins in the Chemical Engineering department. We use Density Functional Theory (DFT), which is essentially computational quantum mechanics, to study electronic and elastic properties of materials. In particular, we study a family of 2D materials called MXenes for use in applications such as photocatalysis, energy storage, and solar cells. This research is part of the WPI CEDAR program, connecting us with experimental physicists, data scientists, and materials scientists who also study MXenes.
