Sara T. Hamilton received her M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2018 and her Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Engineering from Columbia University in 2022 under the supervision of Ah-Hyung Alissa Park. During her Ph.D., she researched nanoscale hybrid electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage and combined CO2 capture and conversion. She also received the SCGSR Fellowship from the Department of Energy's Office of Science, which supported her research at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on electrochemical interfaces in reactive carbon capture. Sara joined the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management in 2023 as an ORISE Science, Technology and Policy Fellow.
