The Wexler group 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. I am driven by the prospects of using first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo 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.
