​
Office location: 331 Colburn Laboratory, 150 Academy Street, Newark, DE 19716
I graduated from University of Patras (Greece) in 2019 with a PhD in chemical engineering. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware with research interest in developing advanced characterization techniques for CO2/CO electroreduction.
YARAN ZHAO
I obtained my PhD degree in physical chemistry in 2019 from Nankai University in China. Then I joined Dr. Jiao's group from 2019 as a postdoc. My research interest is focused on in situ mechanistic study of electrochemical reactions by using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
BYUNG HEE (BRIAN) KO
I received my B.S. degree in chemical and biomolecular engineering at Cornell University in 2017. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware with research interest in CO2 reduction.
SEAN OVERA
I completed my undergraduate degree with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the University of South Carolina. I joined the Jiao group to pursue my Ph.D in Chemical Engineering focusing on electrocatalysis.
HAEUN SHIN
I graduated from Chonnam National University with a BS/MS in chemical engineering. I joined Dr. Jiao’s group to pursue my PhD degree in 2019 with research interest in electrocatalysis.
KENTARO HANSEN
I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Chem. Eng. in 2018. I joined the Jiao group in Fall 2019 and I am pursuing a PhD degree in Chem. Eng. with a focus on electrochemistry. My research interests are in the design and optimization of electrochemical devices and their materials.
