earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at 国产原创 in August 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Cary Pint. Mengya鈥檚 research focus was on energy storage devices beyond lithium-ion during her PhD. She developed synthesis of several composite electrodes with specific architectures designed for high performance supercapacitors, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries. Mengya is now a Battery R&D Scientist in the Emerging and Solid-State Batteries Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She is continuing her efforts in the development of Na-ion based energy storage systems for long-duration storage application. Mengya has over 20 journal publications with an h-index of 13.
