Kevin McKenzie

Kevin is a postdoc in Dr. Michael Wagner’s research group. He received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from The George Washington University in 2016 and joined the Wagner Research Group as a graduate student. Kevin’s research is focused on developing methods of economically transforming biochar to useful value-added materials to economically enable pyrolysis bio-oil production. In general, the carbonaceous materials produced have been tailored for application in lithium-ion batteries. It is hoped that the methods and materials developed can contribute to a sustainable green future. Kevin has been a co-inventor of two patented technologies, and the co-author of three peer reviewed publications, with three more in preparation.
