- Can you please tell us more about your background and previous experience?
I studied chemistry with a focus on nanoparticle synthesis before completing my PhD on the topic of porous carbons for energy storage applications. After that, I joined the company “Heraeus” where I worked on the development and processing of carbon materials for batteries. There I was part of an internal, corporate Start-up, which is an interesting setting for an innovation structure in a large company. During that time, I learnt a lot about the opportunities and pitfalls that await you when developing new materials and processes for the billion-dollar energy storage market that is constantly demanding new solutions.
