Daniel Esposito

Daniel Esposito received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware and studied as a postdoctoral research associate at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under a National Research Council fellowship. He is now an Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering at Columbia University, where he is also a core member of the Columbia Electrochemical Energy Center (CEEC). His group’s research interests relate broadly to the development of electrochemical technologies for clean energy applications. Specific topics of interest include electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry/solar fuels, and the use of in situ analytical techniques to study the performance and properties of (photo)electrocatalytic materials at high spatial resolution. Esposito received an NSF CAREER award in 2018 to study electrochemical reactions at the buried interface between ultrathin oxides and electrocatalytic materials. He has also been a co-organizer of four different symposia related to solar fuels over the past four years
