  • Advanced Testing & Analysis : Lead & pioneer scientific testing and validation efforts for active materials, using advanced analytical techniques (SEM, RAMAN, XRD, etc.) and electrochemical techniques.
  • Electrochemical Testing Expertise : Oversee the design and execution of electrochemical testing protocols for battery materials, such as cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic cycling, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and other techniques crucial to evaluating battery performance.
  • Technical Oversight : Direct the development of recovery processes for active materials, ensuring they meet quality, cost, and sustainability targets suitable for large-scale manufacturing.
  • Production Quality Compliance : Establish and maintain rigorous production quality control measures, ensuring all materials adhere to established quality standards. Implement batch testing protocols to verify consistency, performance, and safety, driving improvements in manufacturing processes as needed.
  • Regulatory & Safety Compliance : Ensure all processes and materials comply with safety, environmental, and industry regulations, maintaining strict adherence to evolving standards.

  • Proven expertise in electrochemistry, particularly with lithium-ion battery materials and recycling technologies.
  • Strong background in designing and implementing scientific testing methods, including Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and electrochemical analysis techniques.
  • Extensive experience scaling up chemical recovery processes for mass production, with a commitment to green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing.
  • Exceptional leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
