Reza Younesi is an Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden, and Co-Founder of ALTRIS AB, Europe’s sodium-ion battery developer – https://www.altris.se/.
Reza worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 2013-2014, having received his Ph.D. from the department of Chemistry–Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala University and M.Sc. from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. Younesi’s research group focus on the interfacial reaction in rechargeable batteries and materials development for sodium-ion & lithium-ion batteries.
Altris’ journey began in 2015 when Ronnie Mogensen, a master’s student at the Ångström Advanced Battery Centre at Uppsala University, came across an enlightening study on sodium-ion batteries by the renowned scientist and Nobel laureate, John B. Goodenough. In search of a cathode for his master’s degree experiments, Ronnie teamed up with his supervisor, Associate Professor Reza Younesi, and material chemistry expert, Associate Professor William Brant. Together, they innovated their first Prussian White process.
