Halat Lab at Colorado School of Mines
Our research group at the Colorado School of Mines focuses on advancing our fundamental understanding of energy storage and conversion technologies through cutting-edge nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. We explore the dynamics of ion transport in functional materials and develop solutions for real-life energy-related challenges. Whether you are a prospective student, collaborator, or simply interested in our work, we invite you to explore our group’s research and join us on our journey towards building a more sustainable future.
