| Biographical or Historical Data: | Professor Aliaksandr Bandarenka is currently a Professor at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. He conducts research in the area of the physics of energy conversion and storage with the main research topics, which include the design and implementation of functional materials for energy applications. The material design is based on various approaches using input from electrochemistry, solid-state physics, chemistry, and surface science and starting from model objects. Professor Bandarenka attended Belarusian State University. He earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry in 2002 and his PhD in 2005, working under the supervision of Dr. G.A. Ragoisha. After completing his PhD he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. In this role he worked with Prof. H.J.M. Bouwmeester and Prof. B.A. Boukamp on the development of new proton-conducting electrolytes. In 2008 he moved to the Technical University of Denmark where he worked with Prof. I. Chorkendorff and Prof. J. Nørskov on electrocatalysis for energy conversion. In 2010-2014 he was a group leader at the Center for Electrochemical Sciences (Director: Prof. W. Schuhmann) at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. He is the recipient of the Materials Science Award (2013) from the International Society of Electrochemistry and the National Ernst Haage Prize (2016) from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (Germany) |
