Highlights of the Decade

2010sCollage.jpg

It’s hard to believe that over 10 years have passed since I began my research career. During that time I’ve earned my Ph.D., completed a postdoc position, and joined the staff of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. In between I’ve been fortunate to work with great colleagues and mentors across the world on a range of problems spanning electronics, catalysis, metallurgy, nuclear power, and energy storage. Below is a list of my top 10 most highly cited publications from the past decade—I look forward to more exciting discoveries and challenges in the next one!
