Background

About McCrae Leith

As a recent chemical engineering graduate, I am committed to exploring innovative solutions to the world's most pressing technical problems. I am particularly interested in contributing to the development of clean energy systems and advanced materials.I have a strong background in battery technology through my research in the Schwartz Group, where I collaborated with a team of graduate students to build a model used to characterize the degradation of lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, my experience synthesizing bio-renewable surfactants has bolstered my understanding of interfacial science. Through my work on a variety of projects, I have demonstrated strong communication skills and an ability to function as an effective team leader.In my free time, I enjoy playing pickup basketball, trying new restaurants, and exploring the outdoors.
