Aditya D. Mohite

Rice University

Associate Professor, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Associate Professor, Materials Science and Nanoengineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering

Aditya D. Mohite is an Associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with joint positions in Chemistry, Material Science and Nanoengineering, Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics. His research is focused on understanding structure-function properties in materials with the aim of controlling charge and energy flow transport across interfaces using state-of-the-art spatially and temporally resolved techniques. His research philosophy is applying creative and out-of-the-box approaches to solve fundamental scientific bottlenecks and utilize the knowledge to demonstrate performances in devices that is on par or exceeds the current state-of-the-art devices. A key mission of his group is to advance the knowledge of materials, chemistry, physics, and engineering to develop next-generation technologies by working with a multidisciplinary and diverse group. He has published 180 peer reviewed papers in journals such as Science, Nature, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Physics, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Chemical Society Reviews, Applied Physics Letters and Advanced Materials amongst others, which has been cited >25,000 times. He has also delivered more than 140 invited talks, has 8 patents. He is currently also the director of the Rice Engineering INitiatiVe for ENergy Transition and Sustainability (REINVENTS) with the goal of coordinating and organizing research in sustainable clean energy in the areas of energy generation, long-term energy storage and energy efficient processes and materials with the goal of creating disruptive solutions for decarbonization.
