Energy Storage & Sustainable Engineering with Lukas Swan and Jeff Dahn






Dr. Lukas Swan and Dr. Jeff Dahn (Dalhousie University) talk about their lifelong research in energy storage and the future of the industry. 

Jeff Dahn is recognized as one of the pioneering developers of the lithium-ion battery that is now used worldwide in laptop computers and cell-phones. Dahn's recent work has concentrated on increasing the energy density, improving the lifetime and lowering the cost of lithium ion batteries. 

Lukas Swan is the principal investigator at the Dalhousie University Renewable Energy Storage Laboratory with extensive experience and focused R&D on unique, elegant, and robust solutions to transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Swan's work encompasses variety of battery packs found in electric vehicles, freight trains, grid storage, remote islands, and more.

Dalhousie Renewable Energy Society is a student group that advocates for sustainability in engineering through hands-on experiences in renewable energy design projects and sustainability-focused events.
