About

Eric Lopato recently completed his doctorate at Carnegie Mellon University, where he studied Inorganic Chemistry. Lopato successfully defended his dissertation, “Exploring Multidimensional Chemical Spaces in Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolving Reactions,” in June of 2022. His PhD research concentrated on developing and utilizing high-throughput measurement techniques to explore photocatalytic reactions pertaining to solar-fuels. He is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at Argonne National Laboratory performing lithium-ion battery recycling with the ReCell Group.
