Our paper in ACSEnergyLett w Greg Houchins on singlet oxygen formation in Li-O2, Na-O2 #batteries. Solution disproportionation of superoxide key to singlet O2 generation. Direct access link: pubs.acs.org/articlesonrequ… Inspired by seminal papers by AU Khan pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Excited for my CMU Physics student Greg Houchins's PhD defense tomorrow at 1:30 PM ET on using #ML to accelerate the discovery of #battery materials; collaboration with Risi Kondor (see my homepage for new coordinates) #SciML cmu.zoom.us/j/97603321909?…

Today, Breakthrough Energy announced that Greg Houchins will be an inaugural Breakthrough Energy Fellow to advance Chement. breakthroughenergy.org/scaling-innova… breakthroughenergy.org/scaling-innova…

Three big announcements today: (1) Venkat Viswanathan and Greg Houchins founded Chement to build zero carbon cement; (2) Chement will be supported by the inaugural Breakthrough Energy Fellows program; (3) Aionics and Chement partnering to accelerate R&D w/ ML/HPC! aionics.io/aionics-partne…

This is an exciting day for both me and for Chement! Thank you, Venkat, for helping to shape my career up to this point. I look forward to continuing to show the world what we are capable of together. Thanks to CMU Physics,CMU Scott Institute for Energy Innovation CMU Swartz Center, and Breakthrough Energy!

Cement is crucial to us but accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions. Chement, our latest investment Starlight Ventures tackles both sources of emissions to build us a greener future link.medium.com/mPxyo6aBAob Thank you Venkat Viswanathan Greg Houchins for leading the charge! #climateTech
