Abstract: Global transition to clean energy relies on the development of efficient hydrogen storage materials and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts—two primary chemistries investigated in this thesis. MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, have emerged as promising candidates for hydrogen technologies due to their high electrical conductivity, chemical tunability, and structural […] |

Abstract: Despite recent advances in catalytic conversion of plastic waste into high-value chemicals, the interactions between the polymers and catalysts, which are highly porous nanomaterials, are not well understood. Fundamental understanding of these interactions and the ability to modulate them would allow us to design effective catalysts for polymer upcycling reactions. To study the interactions […] |

Abstract: Proteins perform many important biological functions while also avoiding fouling in an aqueous and crowded cellular environment. Their surfaces have evolved to be both chemically heterogeneous (containing nonpolar, polar, and charged groups) as well as hydrophilic. While nonpolar groups are known to induce hydrophobicity, surface heterogeneity has been found to enhance hydrophilicity and the […] |

Abstract: Burgeoning energy and water scarcity challenges motivate the development of new membrane materials for charge transport as well as chemical and water separations. This in turn requires an improved understanding of the physics that govern charged and uncharged solute transport in membranes, and particularly the motion of such species in nm-scale confinement in polymeric […] |

Abstract: Life is dependent on water: most self-assembly and binding processes of biomolecules take place in water. Water-mediated interactions are an essential driving force behind these processes, which is largely affected by the hydrophobicity of the binding surfaces. As many biomolecular binding interfaces are amphiphilic, the hydrophobic interactions are largely affected by polar and charged […] |
