My name is Nicholas Cross, and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I completed my graduate degrees in chemical engineering at Penn State University advised by Bruce Logan, Matthew Rau, and Derek Hall. My graduate researched focused on characterization and development of thermally-regenerative flow batteries for utilization of low temperature heat. I was involved in multiple extracurricular activities including the Electrochemistry Society, AIChE ChemE Car, and was a leader of the PSU Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association. I completed my bachelors in chemical engineering and international studies at Oregon State University. During my time at Oregon State, I also completed two six month internships at Siltronic Corp. and Linde Specialty Gases, was a leader of the OSU Solar Vehicle Team, and defended an honors thesis on carbon degradation and kinetics in a vanadium (4/5) electrolyte. I am passionate about STEM education and renewable energy, please feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or email if you would like to chat!
