Dr. Anna Hankin

Biography

Anna Hankin is an Associate Professor at Imperial College London, leading the Electrochemical Systems Laboratory research group. Her primary expertise lies in electrochemical energy conversion, including CO2 reduction, water splitting, experimental characterization, and various processes involved in material recycling and industrial effluent treatment. Dr. Hankin's academic projects are focused on resolving industrial challenges through both experimental and numerical modeling approaches. She employs a strategy that integrates theoretical assessments with small-scale experimental investigations, system design, operation, characterization, and scale-up. Her key areas of research include the design and modeling of (photo-)electrochemical reactor systems and metal recovery through electrodeposition. Dr. Hankin actively participates in various academic and outreach roles, including co-directing the MRes course in Molecular Engineering and serving as an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Electrochemical Engineering. She is also involved in multiple special interest groups within professional organizations to promote sustainability and electrochemistry.
