معرفی
Jesús M. Velázquez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on designing dimensionally reduced materials, including monolayers, nanocrystalline thin films, and mesoporous monoliths, with applications in nanoelectronics, energy conversion, and environmental remediation.
- Education: Ph.D. (2012) and B.S. (2004) from University at Buffalo-SUNY and University of Puerto Rico-Cayey, respectively.
His group employs advanced characterization techniques like microscopy, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and synchrotron-based methods to establish structure-function correlations that iteratively guide materials design. Representative research areas include energy conversion, electrocatalysis, and environmental remediation.
Key trends in his publications include applications of machine learning to materials synthesis, exploration of Chevrel-phase sulfides for energy storage, and development of mesoporous ceramics for oil spill cleanup. His work bridges inorganic chemistry and materials engineering with a focus on sustainability.
