Prof. Stefano Passerini admitted to the Academy of Science Leopoldina

Prof. Stefano Passerini, Director of the Helmholtz Institute Ulm, has now been elected to the Leopoldina, the National Academy of Sciences. Prof. Passerini has been working on the development of materials and systems for electrochemical energy storage for 30 years. His research focuses on the basic understanding and development of materials for lithium batteries, such as ionic liquids, polymer electrolytes and electrode materials. Passerini is the co-author of over 500 publications and for the third year in a row one of the most cited researchers in his field.

 

The Leopoldina is one of the oldest science academies in the world. Since its foundation in 1652, it is obligated to the advancement of free science, to benefit humankind and to shape a common future. With a base of about 1,500 members, the Leopoldina unites the forces of outstanding scientists from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and numerous other countries. The Leopoldina was appointed the German National Academy of Sciences in 2008. In this capacity, it represents the German scientific community in international committees and assumes a nonpartisan scientific position on social and political issues.
