Justin joined the Mayer Lab as a postdoc in Dec 2021, after receiving his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. He studies redox reactions of metal oxide nanocrystals - such as PCET and OAT (oxygen atom transfer) - and attempts to build relationships between the thermochemistry and kinetics of these interfacial processes. Justin’s side mission in New Haven is to hang out with the esteemed Yale mascot Handsome Dan XIX as frequently as possible.
