Nicholas Siemons
Research Engineer, Precourt Institute for Energy
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and EngineeringBioNicholas began his academic career by studying integrated Masters at University College, London. During this time he published his first article, "Multiple exciton generation in nanostructures for advanced photovoltaic cells" - a review of how to produce photovoltaics with greater than 100% internal efficiencies. Following this Nicholas began research into solar voltaics and organic batteries in the group of Prof. Jenny Nelson at Imperial College, London. During this time Nicholas developed his keen interest in how to relate the chemical design of polymers to their ability to function as battery electrode materials. To achieve this goal, Nicholas applies atomistic simulation methods to such polymer systems, and relates the simulated findings to experimental results, bridging the gap between chemistry and device properties. As well as linking molecular chemical design to device performance, Nicholas applies novel simulation and analysis methodologies to study these systems, including Molecular Dynamics, Density Functional Theory, Molecular Metadynamics and Network Analysis.

Shiyuan Zhou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioShiyuan Zhou is a recipient of the 2026 Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellowship. He received his Ph.D. in Energy Chemistry in 2024 through a joint doctoral program between Xiamen University and Argonne National Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Shi-Gang Sun, Dr. Gui-Liang Xu, and Dr. Khalil Amine.
His research advances the frontiers of battery chemistry through the development of multimodal operando electrochemical scanning/transmission electron microscopy (EC-S/TEM) integrated with synchrotron X-ray characterization, enabling direct observation of real-time electrochemical and structural dynamics in energy materials. Trained as both a materials chemist and microscopist, his work focuses on visualizing highly sensitive and previously inaccessible electrochemical processes in batteries.
During his doctoral research, he developed in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy techniques to probe real-time reaction dynamics in lithium–sulfur batteries. Following his Ph.D., he continued at Argonne as a postdoctoral fellow, where he expanded his research to multimodal and multiscale imaging approaches, integrating advanced electron microscopy with transmission X-ray microscopy to study all-solid-state batteries. His research has been recognized as one of China’s Top 10 Scientific Advances of 2023, and he has received the Tan Kah Kee Medal as well as the Argonne Impact Award.
