Kimberly See

Kimberly A. See is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. She works on new materials and architectures for electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on abundant, low-cost resources. She was awarded the 2019 BASF-Volkswagen International Science Award Electrochemistry and is a Beckman Young Investigators Award honouree.
Early life and education
See grew up in Colorado, where she enjoyed a childhood playing outdoors. She originally considered becoming a botanist, but when she realised that the plants around her were made of molecules, switched her focus to chemistry. She eventually earned her bachelor's degree at the Colorado School of Mines. She was a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and earned her doctoral degree under the supervision of Galen D. Stucky in 2014. Her doctoral research involved investigations into efficient energy storage technologies, in particular ones that make use of low-cost, abundant and sustainable resources. After earning her doctoral degree See joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she worked as a postdoctoral scholar. Her laboratory studies technologies that can advance lithium-ion battery chemistry. In particular, See has studied multivalent ion and lithium-sulfur batteries. In 2019 See was awarded the BASF-Volkswagen International Science Award Electrochemistry. She was also named a Beckman Young Investigators Award winner.
