From Tokyo to Gothenburg for development of sustainable tech
We are pleased to announce that from today Sankar Sasidharan, PhD, has joined Smoltek, thanks to a prestigious industrial postdoc grant from WISE - Wallenberg Initiative for Sustainable Material Science.
August 15, 2023
Sankar will be employed by Smoltek Hydrogen and share his time between our efforts to develop our innovative electrolyzer material (ECM) and postdoctoral research in PEM anode coatings together with Prof. Zhenyuan Xia from the Institute of Material Science at Chalmers University of Technology.
Sankar has most recently made a postdoctoral stay at IMS Chalmers and Tokyo Institute of Technology and he is bringing his competence in material science and electrochemistry to improve the durability of our PEM cells and accelerating our technology a few steps in technology readiness and market success.
