معرفی
Dr. Jonathan M. Larson is an Assistant Professor at Baylor University in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, with Affiliate Faculty status at the Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His interdisciplinary research bridges physics, chemistry, and materials science.
- Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland (2018)
- M.S. in Physics from Auburn University (2011)
- B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Longwood University (2007)
Larson's work focuses on nondestructive characterization of electrochemical interfaces using advanced techniques like infrared nanospectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy, targeting applications in Li-ion batteries, quantum materials, and biochemical systems. Key areas include solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) dynamics, 2D material catalysis, and nanoscale surface engineering.
Recent publications highlight trends in operando infrared analysis of battery interfaces and light-driven C–H activation via transition metal dichalcogenides. Collaborations span Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Publication Management System, and multidisciplinary energy storage initiatives.
Scientific contributions include:
- Developing synchrotron-based infrared nanoimaging methods
- Elucidating SEI layer mechanics and cross-talk in Si/C composites
- Pioneering nanoscale FTIR signal processing algorithms
