John Goodman

Background

I am a Chemical Engineering student at UCSB completing the BS/MS program in Materials Science, focusing on functional and quantum materials. I am originally from Chico, CA. My interests in engineering are energy storage, improving electrical systems, characterization techniques, and optics. In my free time, I love making and listening to music, playing basketball with my friends, and working on coding projects!

Current Research

I am currently working on a research project on operando characterization of lithium-ion batteries. My work involves battery assembly, electrochemical testing, and adapting cell components for solid-state NMR measurements to analyze real time charge and discharge effects in batteries.
