Dr. Najmus Saqib is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Marian University. He has been teaching in his field since 2017. Saqib is passionate about student learning. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines, focusing on ”Optical Diagnostics of Lithium-Sulfur and Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes using Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared Spectroscopy”. At Mines Saqib was a member of the MODES Lab, led by Dr. Jason M. Porter. His work on Li-S batteries was the first of its kind to use quantitative infrared spectroscopy for operando polysulfide measurements. He has also applied operando spectroscopy to improve the understanding of electrolyte decomposition mechanisms

Define the Problem (for the Project/Community Partner - As you understand it, what is the problem you are trying to solve? It may not seem like it changes each week, but your understanding of it will evolve). 3. Describe your Proposed Solution. (for whatever stage is appropriate at this time). 4. In 1 or 2 sentences, summarize what steps you took this week. 5. Answer any of the following (include the letter(s) of the question(s)) - do not exceed 30 minutes: a.
