Jonathan Fetherolf

Position
Postdoctoral Research Associate, Chemistry
Bio/Description

Jonathan Fetherolf is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemistry. Under the guidance of Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, Jonathan uses theoretical modeling to study nuclear quantum effects in molecular systems. His research ultimately aims to improve the efficiency of chemical processes such as solar energy harvesting and storage. During his graduate studies, Jonathan developed fundamental theories of charge transport in emerging solar cell materials, receiving his PhD in chemical physics from Columbia University in 2021. He completed his bachelor's degree in chemistry and physics at Rutgers University in 2016. Jonathan is interested in more directly connecting his research to issues of climate justice, as well as confronting bias and inequality in STEM education and research.
