Dr. Damla Eroglu is an associate professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at Bogazici University, Turkey. Her research group conducts both experimental and theoretical research on complex electrochemical systems, coupling electrochemical characterization (i.e., electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic cycling) and modeling (i.e., electrochemical modeling, cell- and system-level performance modeling, machine learning) to investigate the critical link between materials and cell design and battery performance for beyond lithium-ion battery systems such as lithium-sulfur batteries. Before she joined Bogazici University, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Gallagher as a part of the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR). Her work there focused on techno-economic modeling and materials-to-system analysis of beyond lithium-ion batteries for transportation applications. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Alan West. During her Ph.D., she gained expertise in electrochemical characterization and modeling in complex electrochemical systems such as rechargeable batteries and metal/composite electrodeposition. In the Brushett Research Group, Damla will work on the modeling and experimental analyses of redox-mediated electrochemical systems for energy storage (e.g., flow batteries) and energy conversion (e.g., water electrolyzers).
