KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Prof Robert Wexler (Washington University)

Robert Wexler is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Wexler earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Prof. Andrew M. Rappe and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University with Prof. Emily A. Carter. Dr. Wexler’s research is focused on theoretical materials innovation for renewable energy and environmental applications, with a special emphasis on developing computational methods for the more realistic modeling of interfacial phenomena in electrocatalysis, solar energy conversion, and environmental energy harvesting.

Dr. Wexler is driven by the prospects of using first-principles calculations, molecular simulations, and machine learning as a synergistic approach for developing a fundamental understanding of complex materials systems, discovering relationships between their structure and function, and identifying promising routes for device optimization.

Dr Tony McDaniel (Sandia)

Dr. McDaniel is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories and holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.Ìý His research experience spans a range of topical areas important to functional materials and their application to developing technologies for energy storage and conversion. These include complex oxides used in the production of hydrogen by thermochemical water splitting and high temperature electrochemical processes. He has authored or coauthored over 100 peer reviewed papers
