Nick obtained his B.S in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020. As an undergraduate, he initially researched functionalized carbon nanomaterials for water filtration membranes before transitioning to conduct experiments and develop models for dual-ion batteries under Professor Peng Bai. He also served as captain for the Cross Country and Track Teams, receiving 11 All-America titles and the 2020 NCAA DIII Academic All-America of the Year award. Co-advised by Professor Brushett and Professor Swan, Nick investigates how complex fluids can be applied to flow battery systems. He is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
