Jacob Pawlik (Fed)

Research Chemist

Dr. Jacob T. Pawlik is an NRC postdoc in the Guided Electromagnetic Waves Group in the RF Technology Division of the Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) at NIST in Boulder, Colorado. He specializes in the electrical characterization of solid and liquid materials from RF to μ-wave frequencies with on-wafer broadband dielectric spectroscopy. His NRC project focuses on using microwave microfluidic spectroscopy to study the dynamics of electrochemical systems and polymer-fluid interfaces. He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2021 where he focused on the discovery and implementation of fluoride-ion battery materials. He obtained a B.S. in Chemistry from Appalachian State University in 2016 where he found a passion for research and scientific discovery.
