Jin Suntivich
Associate Professor
Professor Jin Suntivich is an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University. He obtained his undergraduate degrees in Materials Science and Engineering and Integrated Science from Northwestern University, followed by a doctoral degree in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard, Jin embarked on his independent career as an assistant professor at Cornell. During this time, he has dedicated his efforts to comprehending the fundamental mechanisms of electrocatalysis and exploring the structure-property relationship at solid-liquid interfaces. His research interest spans a range of topics, including the measurement of surface thermochemistry, the development of in-situ tools for probing bond-forming events, and identifying mechanism-driven strategies for designing materials for energy and separation applications.
Research Description
Our core interest is in materials sustainability. Current efforts include materials for energy storage and conversion technologies, mitigation strategies for materials corrosions in harsh environments, in-situ tools for probing interface dynamics, and novel methods for separation applications.
