Eesha Duvvuri

Eesha Duvvuri is a fourth-year undergraduate at Cornell University pursuing a B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. In the Goddard group, she is carrying out a density functional theory (DFT) study to investigate how frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) activate carbon dioxide, enabling her to decode selectivity pathways and build predictive tools for efficient catalyst design. She is also an active member of the Archer group at Cornell University, where she studies the fundamental mechanism underlying electrodissolution in reactive liquid electrolytes. Outside of the lab, she enjoys visiting national parks, making solar panels, building and playing musical instruments, and teaching, whether it’s giving piano lessons or being a physics TA!
