We are extremely excited to share the great news that, Professor Vasant is recently announced to co-lead the WP-Cambridge Materials Innovation Centre (WP-CAMMIC), a newly-established Cambridge research centre working to develop next-generation batteries and battery materials, one of the major technological hurdles in the transition to a zero-carbon economy. This research centre will be based at Cambridge's Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy (DMSM), supported by £7.2 million from the WP Investment Company (WPIC), a South Korean investment group.
As a leading figure in the recycling of batteries, Professor Vasant said: "Building on the momentum generated over years of research on sustainable energy materials, this WPIC-funded project will use a holistic approach of how batteries are made, used and recycled.”
