Bio

Raphaële Clément joined the Faculty at UCSB in 2018 and is an Assistant Professor in the Materials Department. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2016 from the University of Cambridge, working under the supervision of Prof. Clare Grey. Her doctoral work focused on the study of layered sodium transition metal oxide cathodes for rechargeable Na-ion batteries. She then joined the group of Prof. Gerbrand Ceder at UC Berkeley, focusing on cation-disordered rocksalt oxyfluorides for Li-ion battery applications. Her group's research focuses on the development and implementation of magnetic resonance techniques (experimental and computational) for the study of battery materials and beyond, with a strong emphasis on operando tools. In her free time, she enjoys exploring new places, hiking/trail running, and live music.
