Eum Research Group

The Eum Research Group explores fundamental reaction chemistry and dynamic processes in energy and environmental materials. We seek to understand how electronic structure, chemical bonding, and local environments govern the way materials react, transform, and function. Our research spans anion redox chemistry, energy-efficient materials synthesis, water science, and imaging-guided processing. Across these areas, we combine multiphase chemistry with advanced spectroscopy, characterization, and imaging to connect fundamental mechanisms with practical materials design and processing. By bridging chemistry across multiple length scales and across solid, liquid, and interfacial environments, we aim to establish new principles for sustainable energy and materials technologies. Discovering new electrochemical reactions in metastable materials. Developing scalable synthesis and processing strategies for advanced battery materials. Exploring the molecular, electronic, and interfacial behavior of water.
