Eva Nichols

Eva Nichols is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on electrochemical CO2 reduction and related catalytic processes, with a particular emphasis on the role of coordination spheres in enhancing catalytic activity. She has published extensively in leading chemistry journals, including the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Chem. Sci. Her work explores the development of molecular and materials-based catalysts for sustainable chemical transformations. Dr. Nichols holds a B.S. in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. She completed her postdoctoral training at Yale University before joining UBC.

Eva M. Nichols is an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia, specializing in inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis, spectroscopy, and the second coordination sphere. Her research focuses on developing advanced materials and molecular systems for sustainable energy conversion, particularly in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. She explores the design of covalent organic frameworks, hybrid bioinorganic systems, and supramolecular structures to enhance catalytic efficiency and selectivity. Her work integrates molecular, materials, and biological approaches to address challenges in artificial photosynthesis and solar-to-chemical conversion. Nichols employs spectroscopic techniques to study interfacial phenomena and reaction mechanisms, emphasizing the role of second-sphere ligands in modulating electrochemical activity.
