Mette Østergaard Filsø received her bachelor degree in inorganic chemistry and crystallography from Aarhus University in 2010. She is currently employed on a five-year scholarship from which she received her master’s degree in 2013. She spent the year 2014 on maternity leave and is planning to finish her PhD in the summer of 2016.
In 2011 she stayed 7 months in Prof. Mark A. Spackman’s group at the University of Western Australia. Through this collaboration, she studied the visualization of ion migration through crystal structures of promising electrode materials for Li-ion battery application.
Fremtid er noget, man tænker på, filosoferer over, udvikler og skaber, men ikke noget, man i traditionel forstand "forsker i" og "studerer". Udgangspunktet er viden og analyser af nutiden og de igangværende udviklinger samt åbenhed og kreativitet. Fremtidstænkning er vidensbaseret fantasi. Fremtidstænkning er det professionelle grundlag for at udvikle virksomheder og offentlig forvaltning. For strategisk tænkning. Det handler om erkende og tackle muligheder og trusler. I den enkelte virksomhed, som i samfundet. Fremtidstænkning og innovation er tæt knyttet til hinanden. Den professionelle fremtidstænker har redskaberne og metoderne til det.
Det handler om at skabe bevidsthed om fremtiden, dens udfordringer og muligheder. Med det formål holder Palludan foredrag, deltager i debatter, skriver artikler og bøger om fremtiden. Desuden rådgives virksomheder og offentlige myndigheder.
Uffe Palludan har siden 1987 holdt over 1000 foredrag om fremtiden - og i alle mulige sammenhænge. Hvert enkelt foredrag har været tilpasset omstændighederne - og de høster stor ros og fører til mange genbestillinger.
Johan Hjelm is working as a Senior Researcher in the Section for Applied Electrochemistry of the the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy Conversion) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
His current research is focused on electrochemical methods for diagnostics of fuel cells, fuel cell stacks, and batteries, and durability of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. His research interests and experience also include electrode kinetics, photoelectrochemistry, intercalation electrodes, ion conduction in solids, microelectrodes, electrochemical deposition of polymers and metals, molecularly modified electrodes, ceramic oxygen electrodes, and colloidal processing of ceramics.
He studied chemistry and mathematics at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, where he got his M.Sc. in 1998. He finished his Ph.D. at the Department of Physical Chemistry at Uppsala University in 2003, and then went on to do his postdoctoral research at Dublin City University, Ireland. He was employed as a Senior Researcher at Department for Fuel Cells and Solid State Chemistry, Risø National Laboratory (now DTU Energy Conversion) in 2006.
Johan has been heavily involved in the construction and running of the new fuel cell test facility at the department, and has since 2010 been running two projects focusing on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell durability, robustness, and electrode development, funded by the Danish Grid Operator (Energinet.dk). He is currently also involved in research on alkali metal – air batteries within the ReLiable project (work package leader for ) and aspects of Li ion battery electrochemistry and durability within the ALPBES project, both funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council.
Andreas Elkjær Christensen is a M.Sc Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark, graduating in 2009. In 2016 he completed an industrial PhD, which was a collaboration between Lithium Balance A/S and DTU Energy at the Technical University of Denmark. During his PhD, Andreas researched new battery technology in form of Lithium-air batteries, with special focus on applications of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for battery management. This work has resulted in two pending patents. Andreas’ work at Lithium Balance A/S is focused on project management, embedded software development, functional safety in road vehicles and supervising patent applications and grants. He is currently a board member at the Danish Battery Society.
Bo Brummerstedt Iversen obtained his Ph.d. in inorganic chemistry from Aarhus University in 1995. Following a post doc period at University of California in Santa Barbara he became Assistant Professor in 1998, Associate Professor in 2000 and Professor in 2004 at the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University.
He holds both a Doctor of Science (2002) and a Doctor of Technology (2010) degree. BBI is the Director of the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Materials Crystallography, and his research interests are within materials chemistry and crystallography with emphasis on energy materials, charge density, nanoparticles, catalysis, synchrotron and neutron crystallography, and supercritical fluids.
Søren Højgaard Jensen is working as a senior researcher at the technical university of Denmark (DTU) in the Energy Conversion and Storage division. His research is focused on Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) and Lithium batteries.
He studied physics and mathematics at Copenhagen University and got his MSc in 2003. In 2006, he finalized his PhD at the Technical University of Denmark, Physics Department.
Recently, Søren conducted the construction of test facilities for operation of SOECs at elevated pressure. Pressurized operation is identified as one of the main keys to enable a full commercialization of the SOEC technology. The work was initiated within the Strategic Electrochemistry Research Center (SERC), a research center under the Danish Council for Strategic Research. He is now continuing the work in in the project CO2 Electrofuel under the Nordic Energy Research Council.
In 2011, Søren headed the construction of a battery state of health (SOH) model under the project EDISON project funded by the Danish ForskEL programme. Such a model can be used to predict the lifetime of batteries when exposed to specific operation conditions. This is a key step stone when evaluating the feasibility and economy of a given battery application. He is continuing this work by detailed studies of Lithium battery degradation mechanisms in the project ALPBES funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research.
