About
Mark Kozdras is a rising innovator in automated electrochemical materials discovery, with a focus on accelerating the development of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). His most cited work introduces AMPERE-2, an open-hardware, robotic platform that revolutionizes electrodeposition by enabling fully automated, reproducible synthesis and in situ electrochemical validation of multi-metal catalysts. This system dramatically reduces sample preparation time to just 65 minutes per catalyst, addressing a critical bottleneck in high-throughput materials screening. By combining open-source hardware with rigorous electrochemical testing, Kozdras’s contributions empower the research community to rapidly explore vast compositional spaces for next-generation energy conversion materials. His work has already garnered attention for its practical, scalable approach to catalyst discovery, bridging the gap between automated synthesis and real-world performance validation. As a proponent of open science, his platform lowers barriers to entry for laboratories worldwide, making high-throughput electrocatalyst research more accessible. With a growing citation impact, Kozdras is establishing himself as a key figure in the integration of robotics and electrochemistry for sustainable energy solutions.
