Sathya Narayanan Jagadeesan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioSathya Narayanan Jagadeesan is a postdoctoral scholar at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, with joint appointments in the Applied Energy Division at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. His research focuses on earth-abundant and non-critical battery chemistries, including aqueous iron, sodium-sulfur, and sodium-ion systems, using advanced synchrotron X-ray characterization and data-driven approaches to understand interfacial chemistry and degradation mechanisms. His work aims to advance scalable and resilient energy storage technologies that reduce reliance on critical materials and strengthen the reliability of modern electric grids. He is driven by translating fundamental insights into practical solutions that support long-duration and widely deployable energy storage.

Professor of Chemical Engineering, of Energy Science Engineering, of Photon Science and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioRecent years have seen unprecedented motivation for the emergence of new energy technologies. Global dependence on fossil fuels, however, will persist until alternate technologies can compete economically. We must develop means to produce energy (or energy carriers) from renewable sources and then convert them to work as efficiently and cleanly as possible. Catalysis is energy conversion, and the Jaramillo laboratory focuses on fundamental catalytic processes occurring on solid-state surfaces in both the production and consumption of energy. Chemical-to-electrical and electrical-to-chemical energy conversion are at the core of the research. Nanoparticles, metals, alloys, sulfides, nitrides, carbides, phosphides, oxides, and biomimetic organo-metallic complexes comprise the toolkit of materials that can help change the energy landscape. Tailoring catalyst surfaces to fit the chemistry is our primary challenge.
