Justin Lee Andrews

Justin is passionate about designing materials that address challenges related to sustainability and the energy transition. He is an inorganic chemist by training with expertise in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and solid-state materials. He most enjoys using soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy to better understand the electronic structure of the materials that he makes. Justin holds a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. While there, Justin developed a toolbox of topochemical transformations that greatly expanded accessible phase space in vanadium oxide systems. As a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, Justin is working to design metal-organic frameworks that conduct ions.
