Research Summary
Nate was a postdoctoral Electrobuff, working mainly at NREL. Nate’s research focused on the use of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) in customized reactors to see what’s happening at a CO2 reduction electrode. Nate is now an electrode development manager at Battolyser Systems.
Nate likes to run trails and bike roads. He also used to enjoy filming the tiny hummingbird nest in his backyard!
