Tejas is a PhD student at UC San Diego's Nanoengineering Department, eager to apply computational methods in accelerating the discovery of better catalysts and other energy materials. Prior to UC San Diego, he worked on atomic layer deposition (ALD) to synthesize green hydrogen electrocatalysts as well as low-cost materials for the high-temperature separation of green ammonia. Tejas received his Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering with a minor in computer science from University of Minnesota followed by internships in process engineering (adhesives and medical devices) and passed the FE exam before pivoting towards an academic route.
