CIC energiGUNE, the Basque research center of reference in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion and hydrogen technologies, has appointed researcher Montse Casas-Cabanas as Scientific Director of the Electrochemical Energy Storage Area, who has reached the highest position in the center -in the field of research- after a professional career of excellence developed mainly in the Basque center.
"We can affirm that we are facing a successful example of the promotion of the ´quarry´," said the General Director of CIC energiGUNE, Nuria Gisbert. "The work that Montse has developed since joining this project in 2011, when CIC energiGUNE was just an idea, has contributed significantly to the position of reference that we have achieved, and her own merits have propelled her to this key position," she said.
Montse Casas-Cabanas had assumed in recent years the tasks of scientific coordination of the Electrochemical Storage Area of CIC energiGUNE, a step immediately prior to the position she will occupy from now on. Her research focuses on the design of next-generation battery chemistries with a focus on sustainability, and she is recognized in the field for her contributions to the study of the impact of crystallochemistry on electrode materials.
