Elizabeth J. Podlaha-Murphy Ph.D.
Dr. Podlaha's research targets the area of Electrochemical Engineering. Electrochemical processes are important for the fabrication of micromachines, microelectronics and protective coatings, as well as for the operation of batteries and corrosion. The research aim is concerned with the understanding and characterization of electrochemical processes for the development of new materials, processes and applications.Current research interests are devoted towards the understanding of alloy codeposition and composite plating. Electrodeposition offers a cost effective means of producing not only single element coatings, but alloy and composite materials, with the advantage of tailoring the deposit chemical composition and microstructure by the appropriate choice of operating conditions. Experimental studies are complemented with theoretical, numerical simulation of electrochemical systems. Experiments are conducted under well defined mass transport and current distribution conditions in order to test model predictions.

By this ResearcherRelated ContentAuthor Interview: Nano-Semiconductors: Devices and TechnologyNanoScienceWorks.org looks at the dynamic area of nano-semoconductors, and how these tiny devices are fundamentally changing the worlds of computing and communications. We speak with the author of Nano-Semiconductor: Devices and Technology, Dr. Krzysztof Iniewski, who manages R&D developments at Redlen Technologies, Inc., a start-up firm in British Columbia, Canada. His research interests are in VLSI circuits for medical and security applications.
UCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
MIT Team Controls Size, Composition of Individual NanowiresA team of MIT researchers has found a way of precisely controlling the width and composition of nanowires as they grow, making it possible to grow complex structures designed for particular applications.
