I am a battery materials scientist and technical strategist with over 11 years of international experience across the UK, South Korea, and India. I specialise in the full battery technology cycle, working across advanced chemistries from fundamental materials research through translational R&D and TRL 3-6 scale-up activities.

My expertise spans high-performance Li-ion and post-Li-ion systems, with a deep specialism in LFP and LMFP cathode materials, electrolyte engineering, sodium-ion, and lithium-sulphur systems. I specialise in materials synthesis, electrochemical characterisation, interfacial engineering, and degradation analysis for next-generation energy storage technologies.

I support organisations working across battery materials and energy storage innovation through technical evaluation, translational R&D support, and strategic project development. My work focuses on:

Navigating TRL Transitions: Supporting the translation of advanced battery chemistries toward scalable cell and system-level applications.

Strategic R&D Oversight: Technical roadmapping, project scoping, and strengthening funding propositions.

Technical Evaluation: Serving as an Expert Evaluator for UK and European funding bodies, assessing the viability of multi-million-pound sustainable energy innovations.

Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor (Research) at WMG, University of Warwick, where I led translational research on scalable cathode and electrolyte systems in collaboration with the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and industrial partners. My global perspective is built on a foundation of my research positions at Imperial College London and King’s College London, and as a Brain Korea (BK21) Fellow at Gyeongsang National University in South Korea.
