Yirui Zhang

Yirui (Arlene) is currently a Schmidt Science Fellow at Stanford University. She received her Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and B.S. from Tsinghua University, China. Her research focuses on understanding the materials interfaces in electrochemical energy storage and biosensing. She develops advanced characterization with in situ vibrational spectroscopy and electrochemical methods to elucidate and tailor the interfacial reactions, charge transfer across interface, and electrokinetic transport at the molecular scale.
