Episode 48 | Innovation in Materials Discovery

Materials discovery has been the propellant of many of the big leaps forward in the battery space. So the field of material engineering and how material design can be accelerated is right at the centre of solving many of the problems that battery material designers are wrestling with.   To explore the advances being made in this field, I'm delighted to be joined by Jason Sebastian, Executive VP of QuesTek Innovations, the Chicago based materials software and consultancy business; to discuss the work they are doing to reveal the next generation of materials candidates for use in the battery technology space.   Speaker Notes: Jason Sebastian | Executive VP | QuesTek Innovations https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-sebastian-32130b19/   QuesTek Innovations https://www.linkedin.com/company/questek-innovations-llc/ https://questek.com/   Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ [email protected]    Sponsorship   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026   The event provides a strategically important battery and energy storage networking opportunity for Southern Europe, and comprise of a 2-day trade show and conference providing high level sector insights from industry leaders across the full supply chains of research, materials, services and manufacturing across 4 major themes:   EV/Mobility Battery Energy Storage Systems and Grid Infrastructure EV Charging Infrastructure Battery Recycling and Circularity   We are allowing selected strategic businesses to register an expression of interest.
