    Background My career in energy technology began in 2012, when I started my master’s coursework and research in electrochemistry at the University of Louisville’s Department of Chemistry. Since then, I have developed an extensive skillset, focusing mainly on the development and usage of semiconductor materials such as titanium oxide (TiO2), tin-oxide (SnO2), birnessite-manganese oxide (b-MnO2), and neodymium oxide (Nd2O3). I have extensively studied the photophysics and photochemistry of energetic
