Early life and education

Augustyn was an undergraduate student in materials science at the University of Arizona. She moved to the University of California, Los Angeles for graduate studies, where she completed a doctorate in materials science. Her research considered nanostructure materials for lithium-ion batteries and electrochemical capacitors.[1] After earning her PhD, Augustyn moved to the Materials Institute at University of Texas at Austin. She spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow.

Research and career

Augustyn joined North Carolina State University in 2015. Her research considers next-generation energy materials for environmental technologies.[2] These include layered metal oxides, which show potential for electrochemical energy storage materials.[3]

Augustyn joined the Journal of Materials Chemistry A as associate editor in 2021.[4] Together with John Paul Eneku, Augustyn leads SciBridge, a science program that connects scientists in the United States with those working in Africa.[5]
