About

I’m an experienced researcher within the field of lithium and lithium-ion batteries with particular expertise in electrochemistry. I’ve worked in both academia and the automotive industry on a wide range of projects related to materials chemistry and electrochemistry of current- and next-generation batteries.

My scientific background is in chemistry, specialising in electrochemistry. I have been working in battery research for close to 20 years, developing expertise in electrochemical methods and techniques, and next-generation battery chemistries. I have worked in a number of large collaborations between industry and academia.

Today, I am a Senior Engineer at TRATON AB in Södertälje, Sweden. The team is responsible for providing support to the organisation in terms of battery material analysis and expertise, covering cell teardown, material characterisation, research, and technical consulting across the vehicle lifecycle. I currently supervise two PhD students, one registered at Uppsala University and the other at KTH.

Outside of my full-time employment, I am a member of the Expert Panel for the Faraday Institution, providing strategic input and oversight for their research portfolio, and directly supporting the projects FAST and LEAP. I have been active in online outreach and science communication for a number of years, focusing on education and awareness of battery science. Beginning in 2016, I adapted some of my teaching material for online distribution, which has since developed into Lithium Inventory. I also write on this site about developments in battery research and industry, with a particular interest in critically appraising hype and misleading PR
