At Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), Elise Fox works on a wide breadth of projects from fuel cells and batteries to concentrating solar power. She recently took some time to give us the download on advances in energy storage technologies, her favorite fictional chemist (hint: she?s an expert in charms and potions) and why she became a scientist.
Q: What promoted you to pursue a career in science?
Elise Fox: On some level I have always known I would be a scientist. It was just a matter of determining what kind.
Q: At SRNL, you work on materials science and technology. Why did you choose this field?
EF: I knew I wanted to be a chemist since the second day of Chemistry I in high school. After college I also knew I wanted to go a slightly different route than traditional organic, physical or analytical chemistry. So, I found an interdisciplinary materials science graduate program at Penn State where I studied catalysis in various energy applications, particularly focusing on how the properties of a ceramic support and alloying can influence the reactivity of the active metal center.
