Description: This course introduces the principles and analytical methods for materials and interfaces in electrochemical,
photochemical, and biochemical systems. Topics include fundamental principles at charged material interfaces
(thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport); in situ and ex situ experimental and spectroscopic methods for
interfacial characterization; machine learning (ML) and data-driven approaches for experimental analysis; and
design strategies for energy conversion, catalysis, and bio-electrochemical systems. Emphasis is placed on
connecting fundamental concepts and models with real-world materials and applications through lectures,
discussions, and analysis of current research. Cross-list: CHBE 462. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CHBE 562 if student has credit for CHBE 462.
