I worked on a computational chemistry and chemical engineering project under Dr. Aleksandra Vojvodic at The Penn Institute for Computational Science (PICS). The project focused on investigating the catalytic properties of cobalt oxide (CoOx) materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), an important half reaction for water electrolysis. The ultimate aim of the project is to determine which cobalt oxide materials could serve as suitable catalysts for the reliable production of clean hydrogen fuels. I worked on this project throughout the summer as part of a paid summer internship through the Vagelos Integrated Program in Energy Research (VIPER), and I continued work on it during the school year via independent study for academic credit.
