Cody W. Schlenker is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington, affiliated with the Washington Research Foundation Innovation, the Clean Energy Institute (CEI), and the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute. His research focuses on electronic dynamics at complex chemical interfaces, particularly in energy-related materials like rechargeable batteries, solar photocatalysts, and photon upconversion systems. He holds a B.S. from Linfield College (2004) and a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California (2010), followed by postdoctoral work at UW under David S. Ginger.
Research interests include operando spectroscopy, photophysics of optoelectronic devices, and advanced materials design for clean energy. Techniques employed include femtosecond transient absorption, electrochemistry, and in situ structural characterization. Awards include the NSF CAREER Award and recognition as a JACS Young Investigator.
