Brendon Jaeger

Brendon Jaeger is a PhD student in the Material Science and Engineering division. His primary research interest is in the field of energy storage, particularly with batteries. He is a part of the Mesostructured Materials and Devices Lab headed by Dr. Joerg Werner, where he conducts research on the architecture of battery electrodes using nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS). He uses this process to create electrodes with anisotropic, low tortuosity channels which would facilitate faster mass transfer of lithium ions to allow for the use of thicker electrodes with faster charging and discharging. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry Materials from Binghamton University where he conducted research under Dr. Hao Liu on sodium and calcium ion battery cathode materials through the use of doping and the pillaring effect.
