Golareh Jalilvand

Dr. Golareh Jalilvand is the principal investigator of the Laboratory for Materials Properties and Structures (LMaPS) at the University of South Caroline. Her research lies at the intersection of electrochemical engineering and materials science, with a focus on advancing the fundamental understanding of how materials dynamically evolve under electrochemical operation. She is particularly interested in conversion redox reactions and investigates the coupling between multiscale material structures and phase evolution—examining how chemical, structural, and mechanical properties of materials change in operando. With a special focus on next-generation battery technologies, Dr. Jalilvand's team investigates lithium–sulfur and lithium-iron-phosphate cathodes, novel separator materials, battery materials recycling, and flexible energy storage systems.
