Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Bio

Muhammad Ihsan Ul Haq is working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Dr. Kostecki’s research group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research interests include advanced characterization of nanostructured energy storage materials mainly through electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and cryogenic electron microscopy. Muhammad received his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan in 2015. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong in 2020. During his Ph.D. research, he worked on the rational design and synthesis of nanostructured electrode materials for sodium batteries. He also had the experience of working on Li-ion, K-ion, Li-S, and Li-O₂ batteries.
