Matias Moreno

I am a 3rd year Millennium Scholar majoring in Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) with a general interest in electrochemistry and inorganic materials chemistry. I have research experience in 2D Materials, Solar Fuels, Fuel Cells, and Thermoelectric Materials. This summer I worked at Berkeley Lab on Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers. My goal is to attend graduate school for Chemistry/ChemE/MatSE in chemical catalysis, energy storage, or solid state chemistry and use that training to contribute to innovations in sustainable energy and environmental stewardship.

Project Description: 
Solid state synthesis and characterization of novel metal chalcogenide materials for thermoelectric applications
