A Holistic Approach for Choosing and Tackling Electrochemical Research Challenges

Abstract

The world of electrochemical research is vast. It ranges from reaction mechanisms to engineering design to system-level analysis, and back. Research in each of these areas can also be hard to keep up with. There’s lots of papers published everyday, and activities ongoing everywhere. You might ask, how can I contribute and make a difference? How can I choose a project that has people excited? How can I ensure my work will have fundamental or applied impacts? In this talk I’ll share my perspectives on the critical first step of this process: formulating a hypothesis and initiating a project that tackles an open challenge. Through a series of electrochemical-centered examples I’ll highlight the scoping process my group takes when beginning a project. From problem identification, to hypothesis generation, and literature/hypothesis testing. A well-framed project and hypothesis doesn’t mean the road won’t be bumpy, but it can ease the process.

When the registration is closed you can still register via l.vanleeuwen@tudelft.nl (not for the lunch anymore).
