I'm a committed NTNU enthusiast, having pursued my entire academic journey here. My path began with a bachelor's in chemistry, followed by a master's in structural chemistry at the department of Chemistry. Now I'm diving into a PhD at the Department of Materials Science with Professor Daniel Rettenwander as my supervisor and Julian Walker as my co-supervisor. Batteries first sparked my interest during my bachelor’s thesis on the prospects of solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, where I came to appreciate just how much demand has skyrocketed for high-performance, energy-dense batteries. That realization steered my master’s and PhD focus toward solid-state batteries and the potential they hold for commercial breakthroughs.

My PhD focuses on developing next-generation solid-state battery technology that aims to build on the sustainability and performance of current systems. While solid-state batteries are already known for improving safety from standard commercial Lithium-ion batteries, this new approach—centered on halide-based solid electrolytes—could bring further advancements to sustainability and cost-reduction. This project includes synthesizing and characterizing these materials with advanced methods, testing lab-scale cells, and fine-tuning stability, conductivity, and safety. By working on these improvements, I hope to help create batteries that perform exceptionally while also setting a higher bar for environmental impact.
