Jorge J. Santiago-Aviles
Associate Professor
Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE)
Research Expertise: MEMS | Nanodevices
Jorge conducts his research at the interface between electrical engineering and materials science, focusing on materials and devices for energy storage, nano-scale composites by electro-spinning and electronic sensing/actuating. He is currently exploring the synthesis, characterization and utilization of nano-structured carbon based materials for super-capacitor electrodes and design/fabrication of coupling super-capacitors. His group is working on the electrochemical characterization of hybrid electrical double layer/Faradaic redox super-capacitors and the electrostatic deposition and characterization of electrolyte specific separating membranes, as well as LTCC tape-based self-packaged super-capacitors.
