Kimberly See is a Professor of Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology , where she leads the See Group. Her academic journey includes a B.S. in Chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines (2009), a Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2014), and a Visiting Associate position at Caltech (2017). Current Position: Professor of Chemistry (2025–present) Prior Position: Assistant Professor (2017–2025) The See Group specializes in solid-state chemistry , electrochemistry , and energy storage , with a focus on: Structure-property relationships in battery materials Multivalent and multielectron battery chemistry Advanced characterization techniques (e.g., synchrotron, in situ Raman) Redox processes in alkali-rich sulfides and Mg-based systems Recent publications address critical challenges in Na-ion and Mg-ion batteries, superionic conductors, and Li-rich cathodes. The group emphasizes interdisciplinary research combining materials chemistry, analytical chemistry, and electrochemical device design. Collaborative Networks: Co-authors include researchers from Caltech, UCSB, and international institutions Active in developing electrolytes and characterization methods for next-gen batteries
