Hi, I’m Naomi Lutz! I’m doing a PhD in mechanical engineering at Stanford with research related to alkali metal anode batteries. Through my current and future work, I hope to contribute to the advancement of renewable energy storage and electrification. Outside of studying and doing research, I like running, hiking, biking, reading, and playing sports and board games. Feel free to check out some of my past backpacking trips, as well as a review of Palo Alto preserves, on the hiking page. And if you’re wondering what graduate student research in batteries looks like and want to learn more about it in an accessible way, then head to the battery research page. Or, if you’re looking for a new book to read, you can take a look at some of my recent favorites in the reading section. I also want to give a big thanks to Ben Kettle at https://benkettle.xyz/ for helping me set up this website. Thanks for visiting my website!
