My project investigates next-generation sodium-ion batteries that make more efficient use of renewable energy solutions, and establishes an exchange of expertise in materials discovery and characterization.
Dr. Hillary Smith is an Associate Professor of Physics at Swarthmore College, specialising in the connection between microscopic material structures and their macroscopic properties. Her research addresses critical issues in electrochemical battery systems.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Hillary will focus on advancing next-generation sodium-ion batteries, contributing to renewable energy solutions with reduced carbon footprints.
