معرفی
Dr. Paul J. Sideris is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at CUNY Queensborough Community College, where he has worked since 2012. His research focuses on synthesizing and characterizing materials for energy storage devices (e.g., lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors) and environmental remediation, utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). He collaborates with the Greenbaum Laboratory at CUNY Hunter College and utilizes facilities at the New York Structural Biology Center and the Advanced Science Research Center.
- Ph.D. in Chemistry from Stony Brook University (2009)
- B.Sc. in Chemistry and B.A. in Mathematics from Binghamton University (2003)
His research group investigates structure-property relationships of energy storage materials through ionothermal synthesis, surfactant-assisted hydrothermal reactions, and solid-state characterization. Recent work includes laser-induced graphene capacitors, Fe-O-P bond analysis in LiFePO4, and lithium ion dynamics in garnet-like electrolytes. Publications span topics in solid-state chemistry, battery technology, and NMR methodology.
Scientific Awards:
- 2020 American Chemical Society New York Section Outreach Volunteer of the Year Award
- 2018 American Chemical Society New York Section Outstanding Service Award
- 2015 Chairperson, American Chemical Society Long Island Subsection
- GAANN Fellowship recipient
Dr. Sideris has advised numerous undergraduate researchers through collaborations with Brookhaven National Laboratory and CUNY faculty, including the Developing Next Generation Radiation Safety Professionals (DNGRSP) program. His group has contributed to advancements in ionic liquid synthesis, cation clustering in layered hydroxides, and lithium ion dynamics in solid electrolytes.
