Your expert instructor is a highly accomplished battery technologist and electrochemist with over 45 years of experience spanning research, development, manufacturing, applications engineering, and business development across the battery industry. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Lowell Technological Institute (now University of Massachusetts Lowell). He went on to complete a master’s degree in physical chemistry from Carleton University and a PhD in Electrochemistry from the University of Ottawa in Canada. His doctoral research focused on interfacial kinetics of lithium intercalation in titanium-based cathodes – among the first cathodes used in the early days of understanding the lithium-ion reaction mechanisms.
In the early 1980s, he pioneered some of the earliest prototype designs for lithium-ion batteries. He is credited with building the first-ever manufactured cylindrical lithium-ion cells in 1986. Over the next several years, he advanced lithium battery chemistries for military, telecommunications, and biomedical applications. In 1991, he joined Moli Energy as Director of Research and later Director of Product Development. Moli Energy commercialised some of the earliest lithium-ion batteries globally. Your expert instructor spearheaded technology transfer to enable manufacturing scale-up and product development around lithium-ion cells and packs. He also redesigned factory layouts and cell architectures to enable mass production.
From 1994 to 1997, as Chief Scientist at SelfCharge Inc., he managed the design and integration of smart batteries and rapid charging systems, yielding patented technologies. Since 1994 until today, he has advising global companies across e-mobility, consumer electronics, grid electricity storage, and medical batteries. He holds twenty patents and has co-edited two books on lithium battery technological advances. He is presently writing a book on the Sustainability of the Lithium-ion Battery Industry.
Beyond his corporate work, he has chaired a National Science Foundation advisory committee for bioenergy research and spearheaded the creation of the Nanotechnology Division within the Electrochemical Society. The Electrochemical Society has created an award with your expert instructor name in conjunction with The Energy Technology Division Award for Sustainable Energy Technologies. Over his outstanding career, he has advanced battery chemistries from fundamental concepts to practical real-world systems. As an inventor, educator, and advisor, he has helped build a cleaner, more electrified world empowered by next-generation storage solutions. Even today, he explores innovations from solid-state electrolytes to magnetic characterization techniques, demonstrating his enduring curiosity.
