Advanced Light Source, LBNL
(Co-Lead Thrust 2)
Guo is a Senior Scientist at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and leads the RIXS Program on beamlines for RIXS and Operando-X-ray absorption spectroscopy end-stations.
Shruti Hariyani
Shruti received her Bachelors of Science and Ph. D. at the University of Houston. Her doctoral research under the guidance of Prof. Jakoah Brgoch focused on the discovery and characterization of novel phosphor materials through experiment and computation. She is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University with Prof. Sarbajit Banerjee on the synthesis of substituted vanadium oxide-based materials for neuromorphic computing applications.
Junjie Huang
Fatima Jardali
Fatima is a senior research engineer working on electrical and thermal responses of vanadium dioxide under electrical bias. Her research interests include thin films growth and characterization sputter deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, device fabrication and electro-thermal characterization, and ion insertion/extraction into/from host materials.
Dakota Jones
Dakota obtained his B.S. in chemistry from Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) in 2021, where he worked on optimizing microwave-promoted iminyl radical cascade reactions to be used as steps in the synthesis of natural products. In the fall of 2021 he joined Professor Kim R. Dunbar’s research group at Texas A&M University. His main research objective for his PhD work has been to design multimetallic coordination complexes with long-range magnetic coupling between transition metal centers using thiolate or organic nitrile bridging ligands.
Katie Jungjohann
NREL
(Co-Lead Thrust X)
Jungjohann is Group Manager of the Analytical Microscopy and Imaging Sciences group at NREL.
Aiden Kang
Aiden received his BS in Mechanical Engineering in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2019. His research focuses on fabrication and characterization of materials for neuromorphic computing and corresponding mechanical phenomena in these systems. His research interests include inspection of stress/damage during operation and how mechanical loading influences phase transitions in these systems.
