Chemical & Biological Engineering

Peter Romero is a first-year PhD student in the Chemical Engineering program. Prior to joining the Electrobuffs, he worked on energy storage solutions in the automotive industry as a product engineer at Clarios. As part of the Electrobuffs, he hopes to explore electrochemical systems through the lenses of transport phenomena and continuum modeling. Currently, his research will include understanding and modeling bipolar membranes for carbon dioxide reduction and nanopores. Peter is also co-advised by Ankur Gupta and is part of the LIFE Lab.听

When Peter鈥檚 off the clock, he is most likely doing something else! He likes to swim, play soccer, and train capoeira. Other times - when in a more sendetary mood -听听he could be reading,听playing piano, perfecting one of his mother鈥檚 recipes, or rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender. Or maybe he is on a hike in the mountains or playing Pok茅mon Go. Who knows!
