Dr. Dominic Bresser receives funding for investigation of novel electrode materials

Within the scope of a triannual project, promoted by the Vector Foundation, Dr. Dominic Bresser will investigate new electrode materials hosting lithium ions by a combined conversion and alloying reaction together with three PhD candidates. The resulting insights into the underlying mechanisms will be used for the development of new materials providing further enhanced energy and power densities. Bresser expects further improvements of battery-powered electric vehicles from his investigation in terms of safety and power and energy density, which result in faster (re-)charge time and longer driving ranges.

Dominic Bresser is currently holding a postdoctoral position at HIU. Prior to this, he was holding a postdoctoral position and Enhanced Eurotalents Fellowship at the Commissariat a` l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) in Grenoble, France in the group of Dr. Sandrine Lyonnard. He carried out his PhD in the group of Professor Stefano Passerini at the University of Muenster and at the HIU, investigating nanostructured active materials for lithium-based batteries. He is Co-Author of more than 40 scientific publications, including two book chapters, and several international patent applications.
