The Rodríguez-López group tackles analytical and materials challenges in electrochemical science
that impact our understanding of the fundamentals of electrified interfaces, addressing challenges
in the design of energy and environmental technologies. We strive to be a world-class group that
leads in electrochemical analysis using electrochemical imaging, nanoelectrodes, modern
nanofabrication tools, spectroscopy, electrochemical simulations, and new instruments for
electrochemical education. We welcome a diverse body of students and postdocs who are
interested in chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related fields. We are open to pursue
new directions that synergize our expertise with others'. We are a highly collaborative group, with
a strong track record of producing exciting work with collaborators in polymer, catalysis, energy,
simulation, and biological sciences. Our most proud achievement is the training of well-rounded
group members with great prospects for their careers. Undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate
students have found their way to industry, national laboratories, and academia as postgraduates,
and as new faculty. Our group fosters a strong sense of collaboration and encouragement to achieve
your best during your stay at the University of Illinois; this includes pursuing prestigious awards
and fellowships.
