Alexis Grimaud

Alexis Grimaud is an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department at Boston College, affiliated with the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Bordeaux. Her research focuses on the design of redox-active materials and liquid electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, including batteries, water electrolyzers, and electrosynthesis. Key interests include intercalation processes in transition metal-based materials and electrolyte-surface interactions. Notable awards include the 2018 SCF Chemistry for Energy Division Prize and the 2017 ANR Young Researcher Award. Recent work explores liquid-liquid interfaces in water-in-salt electrolytes and polarization effects.
