Alex graduated in 2018 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University. He studied load-bearing/energy-storing composites in the Lutkenhaus Lab at A&M, characterized commercial Li-ion materials as a DOE SULI Intern at the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), and probed the thermal performance of battery packs at NASA JSC. He also studied biosensors under Dr. McShane at A&M, developed software at OSIsoft, and formulated propellant at NASA. Alex enjoys skateboarding, music, and the outdoors. His research interests lie in energy storage, and he is currently focused on rechargeable organic fuel cells. He is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Minority Ph.D. (MPHD) Program.
