Nick earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT in 2025. Supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, he worked with Professors Brushett and Swan to investigate how to integrate solid active materials into electrochemical flow systems through the use of redox-mediation and conductive suspension electrodes. Nick obtained his B.S in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020, where he researched functionalized carbon nanomaterials for water filtration membranes with Professor John Fortner and dual-ion batteries under Professor Peng Bai. Currently, Nick is working alongside experimental collaborators to employ continuum models to aid in the design and understanding of redox-mediated flow batteries and decoupled electrolyzers.
