Dr. Susanne Dörfler earned her PhD in materials chemistry from TU Dresden in 2013, focusing on adapting vertically aligned CNTs for energy storage applications such as sulfur cathodes. She has been a group manager at IWS since 2016 and has coordinated various R&D projects and/or work packages (WPs) in EU projects on battery material development and electrochemical characterization. Her team has experience in characterizing innovative materials and composites for applications in various next-generation battery chemistries, and since 2018, especially in sulfide-based solid-state batteries.
