Dr. Wesley Dose

Biography

Wesley Dose completed his PhD in Chemistry in 2014 at the University of Newcastle, Australia, focusing on manganese-based materials for lithium battery applications. In 2016, he took on a postdoctoral position at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, working in Dr. Christopher Johnson’s group to study failure mechanisms in silicon-based negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. By 2018, Wesley joined the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) as a postdoctoral research associate under the guidance of Prof. Dame Clare Grey and Prof. Michael De Volder, investigating the degradation mechanisms of lithium-ion battery cells with high nickel-content positive electrodes and graphite negative electrodes, as part of the Faraday Institution’s Battery Degradation project. In 2021, he joined the faculty at the University of Leicester before moving to the University of New South Wales in 2022 for a DECRA Fellowship, with plans to transition to the University of Sydney in 2024. His current research interests include energy storage materials and the applications of current and emerging battery chemistries such as lithium-ion and sodium-ion, with a particular emphasis on the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of advanced materials and understanding interfacial chemistry at electrode-electrolyte interfaces.
