ACES Electromaterials Symposium Speaker Profile: Prof Anthony Burrell

His experience speaks for itself. A decade focusing on energy storage and vast experience working in the area of energy science and technology since 1990… Prof Anthony Burrell from the CSE Electrochemical Energy Storage Department at Argonne National Laboratory will bring this expertise to the ACES electromaterials symposium next month in Geelong.

With his symposium presentation titled ‘Silcon Anodes: Where to Next?’, Prof Burrell is set to share his latest findings on material chemistry, while speaking on his research interests that include hydrogen storage, catalyst, electrochromic materials, metal oxides, metal nitrides, transparent conductors and ionic liquids.

As for his background, Prof Burrell received his PhD in chemistry in from the University of Auckland in 1990 and has since gained a wealth of knowledge, first working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas in 1991 and then director fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 1992. He then went on to work in the Chemistry Department at Massey University in 1994 before returning to LANL in 2001 as a Scientist, heading up new programs in materials chemistry.

After many years of widespread practice and an impressive CV, Prof Burrell made the move to Argonne National Laboratory to lead the Emerging Materials and Technology Group in energy storage in 2011. Throughout his career, Prof Burrell has also authored over 180 publications in refereed journals, including over 4000 citations.
