NSF Award # 1709975 – RUI: Using graph theory measures to probe oxygen vacancy and proton conduction in perovskites and double perovskites

Shirui Li , class of 2025, is a chemistry and statistics double major. Shirui studies the effect of an oxygen vacancy on proton conduction pathways in scandium-doped barium zirconate. She enjoys playing the piano, soccer, cooking, musical movies, traveling and making plans.

Anh Dao, class of 2026, is a mathematics major. Anh is exploring how to extract from a centrality image map including an electric field, the key areas measured in impedance spectroscopy. Anh enjoys playing instruments, traveling, skiing, doing yoga and the Big Bang Theory series.

Ada Siepmann, class of 2026, is a double major in chemistry and chemical engineering. Ada studies the proton pair motion in yttrium-doped barium zirconate after a second proton gets added. Ada is part of the Mount Holyoke varsity soccer team and enjoys doing sports, reading books, and spending time with her friends.

Puja Chakraborty, Class of 2027 is a chemistry major. She is investigating how to identify key areas from a centrality image map including an electric field. Her favorite physical phenomenon is quantum superposition. She loves rock music and her cat.
