Dr. Enoch Nagelli, PhD

Dr. Enoch Nagelli is an associate professor and the director of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical & Biological Science & Engineering. He teaches General Chemistry I, II, and core chemical engineering courses. He is the principal investigator of an interdisciplinary research group of cadets majoring in chemical engineering, life science, and chemistry. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, OH, in August 2014, advised by Prof. Liming Dai. His Ph.D. dissertation is on the controlled synthesis, functionalization and assembly of carbon nanomaterials for novel energy storage and conversion devices through an Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) fellowship at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). 

Following his doctoral studies, Dr. Nagelli worked as a post-doctoral fellow on an ARPA-E project funded by the DoE on large-scale high energy capacity all-iron flow batteries at CWRU in the Electrochemical Engineering and Energy Lab under the mentorship of Prof. Robert Savinell and Prof. Jesse Wainright. In this role, Dr. Nagelli worked on the performance diagnostics of flowable slurry electrodes for redox flow batteries and electrochemical flow capacitors. He is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE) and an Officer in the Environment Division of AICHE. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Electrochemical Society (ECS). 

Dr. Nagelli currently serves a member of the ABET Accreditation Board for the Chemical Engineering program, and assistant Officer-In-Charge (OIC) for the AIChE club. He also serves as the Department Trusted Agent for Course End Feedback and a member of the Department faculty Selection Committee. He mentors chemical engineering cadets as a Department Academic Counselor (DAC) and serves as an assistant Officer Representative (OR) for the USMA men’s basketball team.
