Kyra is a Ph.D. candidate in chemical engineering at Stanford University. Her research focuses on electrochemical solar fuels, with a focus on understanding the diurnal effects of irradiation and environmental conditions on the performance of electrochemical solar-driven CO2 reduction reactors. She also studies solar-driven systems for the conversion of CO2 into C4+ products utilizing tandem solar-driven electrochemical and photothermal processes. Prior to attending Stanford, Kyra completed her undergraduate degree at Rutgers University, NJ, in chemical engineering. She was born and raised in Brisbane, Australia.
