Under the direction of NDSU's Dr. Qifeng Zhang, I created an LLZO and doped LLZTO solid-state electrolyte ( spring 2019 ) and submitted a proposal for researching, "A complex hydride lithium superionic conductor" ( fall 2019). In our research group, we have weekly presentations and create PowerPoints to discuss plans, progress, and setbacks.
