At the heart of any research group is the people involved. It is the bright and motivated students who make quality research possible in the PyRO lab.
Currently, there are 5 graduate students (5 PhD) and 9 undergraduates actively contributing to the research being performed in the PyRO lab.
Graduate Students:
George Ankrah - High-throughput electrorefining in molten salts
Ranon Fuller - Rotating electrode development for molten salts
Jason Torrie - Two-step chloride volatility separation
Cameron Vann - Electrolysis of chlorine from molten salts for in progress generation/electrochemical sensors and methods development
Michael Stoddard - Advanced simulation of electrochemical techniques for electrodeposition in molten salts
