Kirsten T Winther
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThe main goal of my research is to combine density functional theory simulations and data science approaches to accelerate the discovery of novel materials for catalysis. My research interests include:
- The development of machine learning models for the prediction of material stability and adsorption energetics
- Accelerated high-throughput frameworks for materials discovery, using machine-learning aided (active-learning) algorithms for materials exploration.
- Developing scientific software and the open database catalysis-hub.org. -

Hao Zhang
Visiting Physicist (b), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Visiting Physicist-Experimenta, SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryBioHao received his MAS.c degree at the University of Victoria in Canada. He is one of the Quantum BC scholars and the Canada NSERC QC CREATE Scholar. Previously, he worked in RF and microwave engineering and since September 2020, he focused on nonlinear optics and plasmon-enhanced optical trapping. Currently, he is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Los Angeles, supervised by Prof. Sergio Carbajo, and is also an SLAC affiliate. In his free time, he likes hiking, playing basketball, astronomical observation, and painting.

Xueli(Sherry) Zheng
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioXueli (Sherry) Zheng is a Physical Science Research Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Dr. Zheng has over 10 years of experience in battery technology, electrochemistry, materials science, X-ray science, and catalysis. Throughout her career, she has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers, with over 11,000 citations and an H-index 36 (according to Google Scholar). Her research focuses on 1) advancing the design, synthesis, and characterization of 2D nanomaterials, leveraging her extensive background and specialized expertise in materials synthesis and synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy/imaging characterization. 2) advanced synchrotron-based characterization techniques, particularly for studying interfaces, surfaces, and nanomaterial properties. These include in situ measurements to explore catalytic reactions, lithium metal batteries, and aqueous battery systems. 3) decarbonizing steelmaking using sustainable hydrogen; 4) critical materials including Li/Co and rare earth element characterization and extraction. 5) leveraging fundamental science to enable translational research across many sustainable energy technologies, including batteries and decarbonizing steelmaking.
