Austin Paul-Orecchio, Ph.D. is a Licensing Assistant at USC Stevens Center for Innovation. Colleagues describe him as "Austin is an intelligent young scientist, who is driven to accomplish any goal set in front of him. I worked closely with Austin during his initial attendance at UT Austin and watched him work diligently to improve his knowledge and skillset daily. Throughout his time in the Mullins laboratory, he has grown to be an exceptional electrochemist with a large breadth of knowledge of lithium metal battery systems. Austin is an example of an ideal graduate student, demonstrating extreme endurance and an unquenchable desire to explore the unknown. He is known for asking probing and insightful questions. I would highly recommend the inclusion of Austin in any of my future research teams!"
