Congratulations to Dr. Rajendra Paudel for Defending His Ph.D!

Congratulations Rajendra! His Ph.D. thesis focused on the synthesis of LaFeO3 heterostructures by MBE for use as oxygen evolution reduction catalysts. Through collaborations with Dr. Byron Farnum’s lab group he showed that LaFeO3/LaNiO3 heterostructures exhibit greater catalytic performance than either material by itself due to the favorable band alignment at the interface. Rajendra is starting work with Micron in Boise, ID in September to work with their thin films group. Way to go!
