Background and activities
Ph.D. candidate within magnesium-sulfur batteries.
In August 2017, I began my PhD at Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NTNU, where I work with developing novel and cheap cathode materials for magnesium-sulfur batteries. Magnesium-batteries have multiple advantages over Li-ion batteries, and are comparably barely explored. I am part of the research groups Inorganic Materials and Ceramics and Electrochemistry.
My motivation is to contribute to a greener society driven by renewables, where efficient energy storage is essential.
Background
I finished my engineering degree at the Nanotechnology study program at NTNU during the spring of 2017, with a specialization within materials, energy and environment. In my master thesis I worked with improving the anode material in Li-ion batteries. More precisely, I investigated different degradation mechanisms in Si anodes, by using post mortem SEM, EDX, FIB and FTIR.
