Dr. Cody Chalker

Cody joined our group Fall 2019. as a Post-Doctoral Scholar in the Chemistry Department at UC Davis. He received his B.S. in Chemistry at York College of Pennsylvania in 2011. Upon graduation, he worked at AMZ Manufacturing Corp. in York, PA as an electroplating/anodizing chemist specializing in engineering and chemical process optimization. In 2013 he started his PhD program at Texas A&M University in the Department of Chemistry under the guidance of James. D. Batteas and successfully defended his thesis in August of 2019. His research interests include modification and building of scanning probe microscopy platforms for investigating electroactive nanostructures for energy conversion applications. His current research interest includes using combine Quartz Crystal Microbalance/Atomic Force microscopy for investigating and modeling of soft biological structures at solid liquid interfaces.
