Prof. Dr. Martin Winter
Martin Winter has been researching in the field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion for more than 30 years. His focus is on the development of new materials, components and cell designs for lithium-ion, lithium-metal and alternative battery systems. The chemist has received more than 60 scientific awards and recognitions.
Martin Winter currently holds a professorship for “Materials Science, Energy and Electrochemistry” at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Münster, Germany. The full professorship developed from an endowed professorship funded by the companies Volkswagen, Evonik Industries and Chemetall (today Albemarle) from 2008 to 2012.
Furthermore, Martin Winter is founder and scientific director of MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster. MEET stands for “Münster Electrochemical Energy Technology”. Since 2015, he is also founding director of Helmholtz Institute Münster HI MS “Ionics in Energy Storage”, an institute branch of Forschungszentrum Jülich. MEET and HI MS are internationally leading institutions in the research and development of innovative electrochemical energy storage systems.
