Hamann Research Group

Our interdisciplinary research interests are focused on solving problems related to solar energy conversions and energy storage. Specific problems of interest include investigations of homogenous and heterogenous electron-transfer reactions, synthesis of novel nano structured materials, development and investigations of photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical systems, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis.

Please refer to our Research page or Publications page to learn more.

INTERESTED GRADUATE STUDENTS MUST APPLY TO THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT.
