Standing on the shoulders of giants, I am humbled to lead Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy into the next chapter. The Institute's mission (and that of Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability) is to "glue" the many people and organizations working on energy across Stanford and beyond. Following the vision of Jay Precourt and the footsteps of Lynn Orr, Arun Majumdar, Sally Benson and Yi Cui, I am excited to continue this mission of building connective tissues that will contribute to the energy transition. In particular, I am thrilled for my partnership with Ira Ehrenpreis, Mike Morgan and the entire Precourt Advisory Council. My journey with Precourt began nearly 20 years ago. My PhD thesis with Sossina Haile was part of Stanford's Global Climate & Energy Project, a predecessor to today's Precourt Institute. In 2010, I was hired as the first faculty member of the Institute, joint with Stanford University School of Engineering's Materials Science & Engineering department. Looking forward, I am excited to work with Stanford Energy's amazing people to make a difference.

The next edition of our joint MUST (Universität Münster, Stanford University, University of Twente) battery winter school took place last week in California. The focus of this year’s workshop was on initiating, translating & scaling-up of #battery #innovations 🔋🔋 in North West Europe and Silicon Valley. The aim of the collaboration between Münster, Twente and Stanford is to train highly qualified battery researchers. The international exchange provided our scientists with new impulses and promising perspectives for our research. A big thank you to Yi Cui, William Chueh, Jimmy Chen and Stanford StorageX Initiative for organizing this inspiring days. We are looking forward to meeting you in Twente in 2025 – it’s a MUST. 👍

Hochrangige Experten der Stanford University, University of Twente und vom MEET Battery Research Center der Universität Münster trafen sich im Rahmen einer "Winter School" in Kalifornien. Der inhaltliche Schwerpunkt lag auf der Initiierung, Umsetzung und Skalierung von #Batterie-#Innovationen 🔋🔋 in Nordwesteuropa und im Silicon Valley. Ziel der Kooperation zwischen Münster, Twente und Stanford ist zudem die Ausbildung hochqualifizierter Batterieforscher und -forscherinnen. Das Team sendet ein großes Dankeschön an Yi Cui, William Chueh, Jimmy Chen und die Stanford StorageX Initiative für die Organisation! CU 2025 in Twente! 👍

With profound appreciation, we reflect on the resounding success of the recent workshop sponsored by the StorageX Initiative on February 12, 2024. Focused on the pivotal task of translating early-stage academic discoveries into groundbreaking battery technologies at the GWh and TWh scale, the event stands as a testament to collaborative excellence. See the agenda and speaker lineup: https://lnkd.in/gznZZKwZ Co-hosted by eminent institutions such as Stanford University, University of Münster, and University of Twente, the workshop served as an illuminating platform bridging the innovation pipeline between Silicon Valley and Europe. With a distinguished gathering of 70 attendees, including luminaries from academia, industry, and startups, the discourse was rich with profound insights and promising collaborations. Key facets of the workshop included: 🌐 **Global Nexus:** Participants had the privilege of engaging with innovators spanning the United States and Europe, fostering cross-continental dialogues poised to catalyze transformative advancements in battery technology. 🔍 **Educational Endeavors:** Delving into the intricacies of the European Union's investment initiatives and innovation frameworks, attendees gained invaluable perspectives on the dynamic landscape shaping the future of energy storage. 🌟 **Inspiring Narratives:** From established triumphs to burgeoning endeavors, the workshop provided a platform for celebrating achievements, navigating challenges, and envisioning the trajectory of battery innovation on a global scale. Gratitude resonates deeply with each participant for their unwavering dedication and profound contributions to the discourse. A special commendation extends to Prof. Martin Winter, University of Münster for his distinguished presence and invaluable insights, which enriched our collective understanding. #StorageX #BatteryTechnologies #Innovation #EnergyStorage #Collaboration #Gratitude
