Robin Hayes works with the Energy
Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs)
management team under an AAAS Energy,
Environment, Agriculture and Natural
Resources Science and Technology Policy
Fellowship. Dr. Hayes received a
B.S. in Chemistry and Mathematics from
Linfield College in McMinnville, OR in
1999. She completed a Ph.D. in
2004 at the University of California,
Los Angeles in Physical Chemistry under
Professor Emily Carter. While
there, Dr. Hayes was a member of the
Multidisciplinary University Research
Initiative (MURI) on “Virtual Testing
and Design of Materials: A Multiscale
Approach,” where she worked on linking
first principles methods with finite
element and continuum models to
understand crystalline materials
failure. |

Before
embarking on her AAAS Fellowship, Dr.
Hayes was a postdoctoral researcher at
New York University working with
Professor Mark Tuckerman on
self-assembly at organic-inorganic
interfaces, methane dehydrogenation on
bi-metallic nanoparticle catalysts, and
proton transport in perfluorosulfonic
acid fuel cell membranes using first
principles methods. Dr. Hayes has
co-authored 9 peer-reviewed papers and
made nearly 30 presentations, including
9 invited talks, and served as a
National Defense Science and Engineering
Graduate Fellow. |
