Kwabena Bediako

Name: Kwabena Bediako
Discipline: Chemistry
Degrees: B.S., Chemistry, Calvin College, 2008; M.S., Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013; Ph.D., Chemistry, Harvard University, 2015
Research interests: My group explores interfacial charge transfer and charge transport in two-dimensional materials and heterostructures. We emphasize the design and synthesis of materials with modular interfaces that can be controlled at atomically precise length scales to tackle challenging problems in electrochemical energy conversion and quantum electronics.
