Congratulations to Yousef for Successfully Defending his PhD Thesis

Yousef's PhD work was related to developing grand-canonical density functional theory for the modeling of electrified interfaces. He rigorously idenitified the limitations in the more commonly used computational hydrogen electrode approach to modeling the electrochemical interface and explored some interesting phenomena related to potential-induced restructuring of catalyst surfaces and deviations in the expected catalytic behavior of CO2 reduction catalysts.

Yousef is returning to Saudi Arabia to accept a position as an assistant professor at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. Congratulations Yousef, and best of luck on your future endeavors!
