Sarasvati Satyanarayana

Background

I'm Sarasvati, a Chemistry major and Mathematics minor in the College of Creative Studies, and I'm very interested in energy and inorganic chemistry. I love spending time outdoors, going to concerts, and traveling in my free time.   

Current Research

Currently, I work with Hanna Porter on characterizing Li-ion battery materials using XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Previously, I worked on synthesizing weberite-type sodium fluorides for Na-ion batteries and used XRD and EIS to study ionic conductivity and defect-driven performance enhancements.

Education
