Eric Wachsman - Electronically and chemically functional materials. Research is focused on solid ionic-conductors and electrocatalysts, and includes the development of solid state fuel cells, batteries, sensors, and gas separation membranes, and the elucidation of both transport mechanisms (through structural analysis, defect equilibria, and computer modelling) and electrocatalytic mechanisms (by combined catalytic and electrochemical analytical techniques). Teaching includes courses in solid state ionics and the electronic properties of ceramics.
