Kwabi, David

Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering

Biography

Kwabi obtained his PhD in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. The Kwabi research group investigates the interplay between electrochemical charge transfer reactions and bulk phase transformations, involving expertise in mechanical engineering, physical chemistry and materials science. This work is primarily motivated by a variety of energy storage applications such as metal-air/sulfur and redox-flow batteries, but bears relevance to molecular separation (e.g. CO2 capture) and photocatalytic processes as well.
