Dr Michael Glenn obtained his PhD at The University of Newcastle in 2017 researching fuel cells, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in this field. He then joined the battery industry, working on battery management strategies for UltraBattery®. Currently, he is the Principal Technical Development Officer at Battery Energy. This encompasses projects in battery management systems, advanced gel battery enhancement and lithium-ion battery integration. He has served various roles in developing energy storage systems across three battery chemistries; i.e., lead acid, lithium-ion and zinc bromine. This also includes dual chemistry systems that expand conventional boundaries.
