معرفی
Faisal M. Alamgir is a Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Materials Science and Engineering and serves as the Initiative Lead for the Institute of Materials. His research focuses on atomic-scale structure-property relationships, materials characterization, and energy materials. He holds academic affiliations with AlChE, ECS, and MRS.
Education: B.S. in Physics and Mathematics (magna cum laude, Coe College, 1996); Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering (Lehigh University, 2003). Postdoctoral positions at Brookhaven National Lab and Hunter College, CUNY, alongside an adjunct professor role at CUNY. Prior to GT, he worked at NIST and contributed to x-ray spectroscopy beamline development.
Research interests span energy storage (batteries/fuel cells), catalysis (CO₂ reduction, electrochemical reactions), nanomaterials synthesis, and in-situ operando characterization techniques like synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy. Key areas include graphene-metal hybrid systems, defect engineering in cathodes, and strain/charge effects in low-dimensional catalysts.
Publications highlight advancements in battery cathode materials (e.g., Ni-rich NMC811, LiFePO₄), CO₂ reduction catalysts (graphene-Pt systems), and electrochemical atomic layer deposition. Over 150+ peer-reviewed papers and patents across these domains.
Awards include the Creating Energy Options Award (2007-2008), DOE collaborations, and leadership in organizing workshops on XAFS, battery materials, and synchrotron applications. Current initiatives emphasize next-gen materials characterization capabilities at Georgia Tech.
Lab activities focus on energy technologies, with projects funded by NSF, DOE, and industry. Active in training scholars via workshops (e.g., XAFS Online Orientation) and mentoring 5 current advisees in doctoral research.
