Veronica Augustyn is the Jake and Jennifer Hooks Distinguished Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University. Her research focuses on the electrochemistry of materials for diverse applications. Recent topics include understanding interfacial phenomena, insertion mechanisms, and nanoconfinement effects. Her research combines materials synthesis with operando and in situ electrochemical techniques to understand electrochemical mechanisms. She supports the materials electrochemistry community as a Scientific Editor of the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, serves on the editorial advisory boards of several journals including ACS Energy Letters, ACS Electrochemistry, and Physical Review Materials, and is a Member-at-Large of the Electrochemical Society Battery Division.
