Electrocatalysis guru Prof. Ian McCrum did his undergraduate studies at Clarkson University, graduating in 2012. From there he went on to Penn State for his PhD, where he was advised by Prof. Mike Janik. In 2017 he moved to the Netherlands, studying at Leiden University as a postdoc under advisor Marc Koper. He returned to Clarkson in 2020 as an assistant professor. There he has won several awards, most notably the ACS PRF award and the NSF CAREER award. Tom had the pleasure of sitting next to Ian for three years while they were both in the Janik group, where Tom learned to live by one of his personal mantras: “when in doubt: ask Ian”. Ian we’re thrilled to have you on the show.
