Ph.D. Candidate
Co-supervised by Professor Richard Friesner in the Department of Chemistry, Gabriel uses advanced computational chemistry tools—such as Density Functional Theory calculations and Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics—to investigate the reactions responsible for electrolyte decomposition and the formation of the Surface-Electrolyte Interface (SEI). His research aims to deepen the theoretical and computational understanding of the molecular events that drive SEI formation, while also developing faster simulation strategies.
