Joe Gauthier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Computational Catalysis Research Lab at Texas Tech University. Before joining TTU, he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Dr. Gauthier received his PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford University in 2020. 
 
Dr. Gauthier studies structure-property relationships used to design better catalysts for processes relevant to renewable energy storage and conversion. By using atomistic simulations and electronic structure calculations, his research group develops understanding of the limitations of catalysts and engineers new materials to overcome these limitations. Dr Gauthier has a passion for mentorship and supporting undergraduate research involvement.
