As for the other examples of motivation letter writing that is currently necessary for students' projects, you can check them directly at our main page. "Dr. Shirley Meng, Associate professor of NanoEngineering at the University of California San Diego, heads an interdisciplinary laboratory focused on energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) & conversion (solar and magnetic). Dr. Shirley Meng received her Ph.D. in Advance Materials for Micro & Nano Systems from the Singapore-MIT Alliance in 2005, after which she worked as a postdoc research fellow and became a research scientist at MIT before joining University of Florida, Department of Materials Science & Engineering as a junior faculty member..."Group Website: http://smeng.ucsd.edu/ |
Current Leaders
President
Who am I?
Hello, my name is Pritesh Parikh.
I am currently a graduate nanoengineering (Ph.D) student. My duties as President are to oversee and be responsible for all activities within this organization.
My research interest:
My current research aims at using atom probe tomography to understand nanoscale systems. Its a unique technique that combines chemical mapping and spatial position for individual atoms.
Fun Fact:
I like to dance and have taken an acting course too!

Previous Leaders
President (Co-President)
Who am I?
Hello, my name is Haodong Liu.
I am currently a graduate nanoengineering (Ph.D) student. Along with Ryan Lu, we are the founders of the "Electorchemical Society" student chapter here at UCSD. My duties as President/Co-President are to oversee and be responsible for all activities within this organization.
My research interest:
My current research aims at developing "high energy density materials for advanced battery systems". In order to accomplish this, I make use of DFT modeling, advanced synthesis and variable characterization techniques in my research.
Our society is now capable of generating clean and renewable energy storage systems with lowered costs.
Fun Fact:
I do not have an English name even after 3 years living in the US.

Vice President (Co-President)
Who am I?
Hello, my name is Ryan Lu.
I am currently an undergraduate Chemistry student at UCSD. Along with Haodong Liu, we are the founders of the Electorchemical Society student chapter here at UCSD. My duties as Vice President/Co-President are to help oversee all activities within this organization. Our first and foremost responsibility is taking the initiative to successfully implement into reality the "UCSD - ECS mission statement's vision". This can be as simple as updating our UCSD-ECS website to building camaraderie among a community of bright and supportive students who share the same passion for electrochemical science and technology.
My research interest:
Our society is now capable of generating clean and renewable energy sources, but the costs associated is not low enough while the storage capacity is still too low. I hope our new community of electrochemical professionals will be able to support each other in resolving these grand-challenges facing our generation.
**This summer 2014, I was a student intern at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). My temporary research project investigated the optical and electronic properties of novel organic semiconductors in organic photovoltaic devices by utilizing electrochemical characterization techniques.
Fun Fact:
I have a twin brother at UC Riverside. Please don't feel heart-broken if someone "who looks like me" ignores you.

Outreach Chair (2014-15)
Who am I?
Hello, my name is Jimmy Mac.
I am a senior undergraduate in Nanoengineering student with a Materials Science focus. I hope to share my love of science and the field of electrochemistry with my peers and the K-12 audience by fostering relationships with local companies and education systems.
My research interest:
My research interest is the development of novel Li-ion battery materials. Currently I work in the Jin Research Group to develop a robust novel electrolyte with high oxidation stability that will enable implementation of high voltage (5V) cathodes in future high energy density Li-ion battery designs. I also hold interest in working with sulfur battery chemistry and sodium-cathode based battery chemistry.
Fun Fact:
Last summer I adopted an abandoned 3 week old kitten. His name is Marce.
