Martin Winter

Martin Winter has been researching in the field of electrochemical energy storage and conver-sion for more than 30 years. His focus is on the development of new materials, components and cell designs for lithium ion, lithium-metal batteries and alternative battery systems. Martin Win-ter currently holds a professorship for “Materials Science, Energy and Electrochemistry” at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Münster, Germany. The full professorship developed from an endowed professorship funded by the companies Volkswagen, Evonik Indus-tries and Chemetall (today Albemarle) from 2008 to 2012.

Martin Winter is founder and scientific director of the MEET Battery Research Center at the Uni-versity of Münster. MEET stands for “Münster Electrochemical Energy Technology”. A team of 150 scientists, engineers and technicians work there on the research and development of inno-vative electrochemical energy storage systems with higher energy density, longer durability and maximum safety. Since 2015, he is also the founding director of the Helmholtz Institute Münster HI MS “Ionics in Energy Storage”, an institute branch of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Martin Winter has received more than 50 scientific awards and recognitions. MEET and HI MS are internationally leading institutions in the research and development of innovative electro-chemical energy storage systems.
