Toberer Research Group

Welcome!

Welcome to the Toberer group at the Colorado School of Mines! In our group, we seek to discover and design new energy materials through collaborative, interdisciplinary research.  These investigations often require the union of solid state chemistry, materials science, and condensed matter physics.  We benefit from the complementary viewpoints provided by experiments and simulations.  Our efforts span both fundamental research and materials to directly address renewable energy and climate change.

 

Open Positions

 

We have several open positions for PhD students in both experimental and computational research.

We invite students at all levels for 12 month research-focused stays. More information here.

Undergraduates are welcome to discuss opportunities to apply for a MURF.  For further information, please email etoberer@mines.edu
