Boruch Epstein
Boruch is a PhD student with Weatherup Group. He completed his MChem at the University of Manchester, studying Chemistry. His previous research experience is with the Popelier Group and Walton Group, both at Manchester.
Research Interests
Boruch’s project attempts to understand 2D transition metal dichalcogenide electrocatalysts, using a mixture of theoretical and lab-based methods. The eventual aim is to understand these materials well enough to permit computer-aided rational design of 2D electrocatalysts.
Boruch is particularly interested in the points at which systems interact, be that computational and practical, or solid and liquid. Boruch also has interests in catalysis, electrochemistry and solid state chemistry. Tangential interests include superconductivity and the chemistry of rocketry.
