Shuwen Yue
Biography
Shuwen Yue joined the Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in the Summer of 2023. She received a B.S. dual degree in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from the University of Alabama in 2016. Shuwen then completed her Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Princeton University in 2021, under the advisement of Prof. Athanassios Z. Panagiotopoulos and as a part of the DOE Center for Chemistry in Solutions and Interfaces. She then moved to MIT in the Department of Chemical Engineering as a postdoctoral associate, working in the group of Prof. Heather J. Kulik and as a part of the DOE Center for Enhanced Nanofluidic Transport.
Research Interests
Shuwen’s research program focuses on the application of multi-scale modeling, machine learning, and statistical mechanics towards the design of novel electrolytes and materials for energy and sustainability technologies. A key effort is to bridge fundamental understanding of molecular scale driving forces with macroscopic observables and properties. This broad set of tools provides a strong basis to tackle challenges in the design and development of energy storage devices and separations materials
