My research focuses on the development of novel manufacturing routes to solid-state batteries and the understanding of rate-limiting factors in sulfide-based cell architectures for high energy density applications. My broader research interests are in the field of energy storage and sustainability, particularly in finding long-term solutions with reduced environmental impact.
Before coming to Oxford, I studied lithium-ion battery electrodes made by simultaneous multilayer slot die coating at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology where I completed my M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. During my master’s I conducted research on high temperature electrolysis at the German Aerospace Center and at Bosch’s central Research Campus near Stuttgart.
As for my B.Eng. thesis I investigated the processing conditions of Bi-2212 high temperature superconducting wires at the ESRF and at CERN. Earlier on I had the opportunity to do an internship abroad at Bosch in Spain where I was working on the development of fuel filters.
