Ernest O. Nachaki, Phd Email & Phone Number

PhD in Physical Chemistry with extensive experience in spectroscopic, electrochemical, computational, and thermal analysis methods. I also hold an MSc in Analytical Chemistry, specializing in electroanalytical techniques.My research includes investigating the solvation structures and dynamics of high concentration electrolytes (HCEs) and solvate ionic liquids (SILs) for lithium-ion batteries. This work aims to gain insights into molecular structure and bulk property relations, enhancing battery performance and safety. Additionally, I have studied electrode-electrolyte interfaces and performed comprehensive characterizations of electrolyte systems, showcasing my skills in electrochemistry and materials characterization.Technical skills:• Spectroscopy: Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy (2DIR),ATR, FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis• Electrochemical Methods: EIS, CV, LSV, Chronoamperometry, Galvanostatic Cycling• Thermal Analysis: DSC, TGA• Computational Chemistry: Molecular Dynamics (LAMMPS, VMD), DFT (Gaussian)• Software Proficiency: MATLAB, Python, OriginLab, Excel, PowerPoint, SQL I aim to leverage my expertise in these areas to develop innovative materials and technologies addressing global challenges such as energy storage, pollution reduction, resource efficiency, and chemistry education.
