Biography

André Ohlin is an Associate Professor at Umeå University with expertise in next-generation metal-ion batteries and energy-storage systems. His research focuses on electrochemical energy storage, specifically sodium-ion battery systems. He leads a materials research group that concentrates on the development of anodes, cathodes, separators, and new materials for battery applications. Ohlin's work aims to understand the trade-offs in engineering materials and processes that will enable the creation of batteries that are safer, scalable, and reliable under real-world conditions. He teaches courses on atomic molecular structure, thermodynamics, molecular orbital theory, group theory, and computational chemistry. His contributions to the field are underpinned by his commitment to enhancing battery technology, particularly in addressing the limitations of current lithium-ion batteries, which are associated with scarcity of lithium and performance challenges at low temperatures.
