Research Interests
  • Analysis and mathematical modeling of electrochemical systems for energy conversion and storage
  • Investigating durability of batteries and fuel cells, particularly for transportation applications, with the objective of predicting life and developing mitigation strategies for specific failure mechanisms
  • Applying concentration solution theory to measure and correlate transport properties of electrolytes used in fuel cells and batteries
Teaching Interests

Professor Fuller’s teaching interests center on core chemical engineering principles, including process design, thermodynamics, and unit operations, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He emphasizes a strong foundation in fundamental concepts while integrating practical problem-solving approaches. His teaching approach actively engages students, fostering critical thinking and application of engineering theories in classroom and laboratory settings.
