Dr. Ryan Kingsbury is an Assistant Professor at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Princeton University. His research focuses on accelerating the development of electrochemical technologies for clean water and clean energy production. He is particularly interested in advancing the fundamental understanding of ion-selective materials, membranes, and electrodes that preferentially absorb and transport charged particles such as Lithium and Sodium ions. These ions are crucial for numerous environmental technologies, including water desalination systems, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and flow batteries. Dr. Kingsbury employs a multi-scale research approach that integrates electrochemical and thermodynamic materials characterization methods, simulation principles, and device testing to understand how materials behave under a wide variety of conditions. His work aims to develop a molecular-level understanding of the factors that make materials selective for ions, thus enabling the engineering of higher-performing materials for various applications in the energy and environmental sectors.
