Grace Han, Ph.D.
 

Research Description

Grace Han is designing photo-switchable systems that harness solar photons to drive out-of-equilibrium transformations, enabling long-term storage of solar energy in chemical bonds.

By tuning molecular structure and environment, she aims to achieve high energy-density, emission-free fuels and materials that release heat when triggered.
