ABOUT Niya Sa
Niya Sa received her Ph.D from Indiana University-Bloomington working on understanding fundamental ion transport phenomena in confined regime with Professor Lane A. Baker. She began working as a postdoc in the Electrochemical Energy Storage Department at Argonne National Lab with Dr. Anthony Burrell and Dr. John Vaughey. Her initial research at Argonne was focused on designing and characterizing electrolytes and cathode materials for beyond lithium ion battery research. She joined the University of Massachusetts in Fall 2017 and expanded her research to utilize electroanalytical tools to understand the interfacial interactions of energy storage materials.
