Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Pennebaker is a Materials PhD student at UC Santa Barbara researching inorganic solid electrolytes and interfacial Li-ion transport in all-solid-state batteries, using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to probe electrochemical stability under realistic operating conditions. He brings a decade of hands-on experience from physics undergrad research in catalyzed methane dehydrogenation to multi-role engineering positions at SLAC’s LCLS, where he was the point of contact for controls, data, and IT on the CXI instrument supporting advanced X-ray spectroscopy and imaging. Comfortable bridging hardware and software, Tyler has designed detector electronics, automated beamline systems with Python and Bash, and improved lab data workflows that yielded fourfold quality gains. His background uniquely blends experimental electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and accelerator-scale instrumentation, making him adept at tackling cross-disciplinary problems in battery materials and experimental systems.
