Congratulations to Professor Sophia Suarez of the Physics Department who was awarded a three-years research grant from the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) division of the Department of Energy (DOE) for $624,000. The funded project is titled “Probing the hydrogen bonded networks and ion interactions in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) through solute molecules”. Prof. Suarez’s work focuses on characterizing the ion and molecular dynamics in various types of materials, especially those with application in electrochemical devices such as non-lithium ion-based batteries. Again, Congratulations Prof. Suarez. For those interested in Prof. Suarez’s work please visit her webpage: http://userhome.brooklyn.cuny.edu/ssuarez/.
