• Strong foundational understanding of mass transfer, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics
• Minimum of one semester of hands-on wet-lab experience
• Proficiency in at least one data analysis tool capable of curve fitting (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Excel, JMP)
• Detail-oriented disposition with a strong sense of intellectual curiosity

Preferences:

• Knowledge of applied statistics and numerical optimization methods
• Background in electrochemistry
• Familiarity with electrooptical measurement techniques
• Experience handling laboratory power sources and instrumentation
• Experience presenting research at conferences or in other professional settings
