o Analyzed ionic and electronic conductivity of solid-state battery separator samples on over 100 cells with varying binder content and additives using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. Discovered and eliminated several critical sources of error including extrusion and compliance defects leveraging Bode and Nyquist plotso Accelerated the pursuit of IP in the all-solid-state battery sector through detailed documentationo Authored and thoroughly reviewed manuals (approx. 15 pages each) to standardize staff procedures on intricate lab tasks such as the construction of coin-cell batteries. Manuals provided detailed instructions, electrochemistry background information, safety precautions, and guidelines on interpreting results to streamline communication in meetingso Partnered with the material science team to method-develop the use of a specialized glovebox for moisture analysis, calibrated a datalogger to monitor Dewpoint and assembled testing apparatuso Advised a cross functional engineering team with analysis from Fourier Transform Electron Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, and Power Spectrum Density, exposing a critical performance failure. Collaborated on the understanding of a new reaction mechanism using FTIR graphso Provided baseline data to compare the performance of a protective coating that will allow cells to maintain 80% of their conductivity, beating competitors to reach production standards
