Dr. Dylla did his PhD work on the synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications of bimetallic nanoparticles with Profs. Walker and Eichhorn at the University of Maryland. Dr. Dylla was then as a post-doctorate fellow in the chemistry department at UT working in Prof. Keith Stevenson’s lab on synthesis and characterization of charge storage materials. He was then a research associate at the Center for Nano & Molecular Sciences at UT working on high-resolution surface characterization of interfaces relevant to charge storage before taking on the RE position within the FRI in the spring of 2016.
