Welcome to my Webpage. I am the Deputy Director for the Sustainable Transportation Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Joint Faculty with the University of Tennessee in the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education.
In my program function, I am assisting the director in managing and further developing the ORNL Transportation Program with sponsors from DOE, DOT, and others.
I am also technically affiliated with the Materials Science and Technology Division's Materials Processing Group leading manufacturing and degradation R&D on batteries. I am working on structure and properties of materials and new processing technology for energy storage and conversion applications. With a team of excellent staff, postdoctoral researchers, and students, we are working on a materials science approach to increase performance, life-time, and safety of energy storage devices. Read more about the team here. Here you can find some TV news on our energy storage developments. This team is working largely within ORNL Energy Storage Program.
Furthermore, I am engaged in a variety of professional organisations as well as international networking activities. For example, I am the University of Tennessee's coordinating contact for the International Network Promoting Materials Science and Engineering. If you are interested in my work, in collaboration, or in consultancy, come in and inform you about my professional background and my experiences. Yours Claus Daniel Dr. Claus Daniel
