Dr Faezeh Makhlooghiazad

I completed my PhD at Deakin University in 2018, focusing on novel solid-state electrolytes for sodium batteries under Prof. Maria Forsyth. I received an Australia Endeavour Fellowship in 2018 to collaborate with Prof. Linda Nazar at the University of Waterloo for 6 months.

Currently, as a research fellow at Deakin University’s storEnergy, I develop high-performance solid-state electrolytes for energy storage devices. I co-authored book chapters with Prof. Forsyth and Prof. Johansson. I received the Promising Future Women Leaders Award (2019), Early Career Researcher Grant (2020), and the Institute for Frontier Materials Staff Award (2022) for my contributions in materials research and science education.

Training

The Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.

Research

Working with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.

Industry

In close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
