Our Team

Meet the team!

The team is the core aspect behind the success of the Electrochemical Technology Center (ETC) centre for electrochemical research and technology. The team consists of enthusiastic scientists and researchers committed to innovation and excellence. Their research extends across different areas such as novel energy storage solutions and ground-breaking electrochemical sensors. Collectively the ETC team stretches the limits of electrochemical knowledge by creating an atmosphere that encourages imagination.
