ECS Pacific Northwest Section Officers are (from left to right) Chair Dr. Jie Xiao, Pacific Northwest National Labs; Vice-Chair Prof. Corie Cobb, University of Washington; Secretary Dr. Yun Li, Microsoft Corporation; Treasurer Prof. Shannon Boettcher, University of Oregon.

The new ECS Pacific Northwest Section, chartered by the Society’s board on October 16, 2020, has planned an active program of events for 2021.

The section seeks to connect all interested parties from academia, industry, and government and bridge a scientific gap while providing networking opportunities that could lead to new developments—and help members advance their careers. The section serves all of the universities and national labs in Washington State, Idaho, and Oregon. Dr. Jie Xiao, ECS Fellow and Battery Division Secretary, took the lead in chartering the section and now serves as its chair. She believes the section will bolster the growth of the electrochemistry and solid state science fields in the Pacific Northwest. (more…)

Prof. Christopher Muratore

On January 27, 2021, The Electrochemical Society hosted Prof. Christopher Muratore’s live webinar, “Two-dimensional Materials for Scalable Modular Electronic Pathogen Sensors.” Prof. Muratore is the Ohio Research Scholars Endowed Chair Professor in the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department at the University of Dayton, U.S.

Prof. Muratore described the global need to move beyond point-of-care diagnostics to inexpensive, simple-to-use pathogen tests readily available to individuals on a daily basis.

The Electrochemical Society relies upon the technical expertise and judgement of the many individuals who, as reviewers, help to maintain the high standards characteristic of the Society’s peer-reviewed journals. In 2020, 3,523 individuals supported the Society’s long-standing commitment to ensuring both the technical quality of the works published, as well as the integrity and validity of the peer review the community provides. ECS greatly appreciates the time and effort put forth by these individuals, and the Society would like to express a sincere thank-you for their hard work and support. (more…)

Congratulations to Lisa Housel, recipient of the 2020 ECS Energy Technology Division Graduate Student Award sponsored by BioLogic. The award recognizes and rewards promising young engineers and scientists in fields pertaining to this ECS Energy Technology Division and encourages them to initiate or continue careers in this field.

Lisa M. Housel is a fifth-year PhD candidate in Chemistry at Stony Brook University, U.S., under the mentorship of Drs. Esther S. Takeuchi, Kenneth J. Takeuchi, and Amy C. Marschilok. Housel received her BS in Chemistry and Economics at Muhlenberg College, U.S. Her graduate research aims to understand the impact of charge transport properties on the structural change and electrochemistry of different battery materials. Specifically, synchrotron-based operando methods enabled Housel to probe structural and chemical changes of battery materials during electrochemical reduction and oxidation. Housel’s graduate work resulted in over 20 publications including multiple publications in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society. (more…)
