Fong Lab

The Fong Research Group integrates simulation and theory to study sustainable electrochemical systems. We seek to answer fundamental questions related to transport and thermodynamics in electrolyte solutions and at electrochemical interfaces. In doing so, we hope to drive improvements in energy storage technologies (batteries and supercapacitors) as well as water treatment processes such as desalination, wastewater remediation, and ion-selective separations. Our research is largely based on molecular dynamics simulations and tools from statistical mechanics, but we also bring together techniques from continuum mechanics, quantum chemistry, and machine learning.
