معرفی
Michael Aubrey serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry within the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. His primary affiliation is with the Allen J. Bard Center for Electrochemistry, where he leads the Aubrey Lab focused on energy materials research.
His research interests center on Inorganic Chemistry, Electrochemistry, and Materials Science, with specific expertise in energy storage materials, nanoscience, and nanotechnology. Through the synthesis of new material interfaces, his lab creates active materials that can move and shape their environments while displaying emergent phenomena for energy storage applications.
Professor Aubrey's recent publications primarily focus on educational materials in crystallography and electrochemistry, including lecture notes on crystal symmetry and structure types. His research group has established significant instrumentation including a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer, UV-Vis-NIR, and FT-IR spectrometers, supporting their work on redox-active materials as potential low-cost battery alternatives.
- Affordable Education Champion (2024) - Awarded by UT Libraries, Senate of College Councils, and Natural Sciences Council
His lab actively recruits students for research in inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials discovery, with recent initiatives including a Freshmen Research Initiative stream in Materials Synthesis. Professor Aubrey teaches courses including Materials Chemistry (CH367C/390K) and has developed a new Special Topics course in Inorganic Chemistry (CH 368C) focused on primary literature analysis.
