ABOUT
Dr Ieuan Seymour is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen since 2023 and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Ieuan’s research focuses on the discovery and development of new materials for energy applications, such as batteries and fuel cells. His group uses a combination of computational and experimental materials chemistry techniques to understand the complex relationships between the structure of materials and their performance in sustainable energy devices. A key area of his current research is focusing on how to improve the sustainability of next-generation solid-state battery technology.
Ieuan obtained his PhD in 2016 at the University of Cambridge in the group of Professor Dame Clare P. Grey. From 2018–2020, Ieuan was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas at Austin, investigating new materials discovery of Li and beyond Li-ion battery cathode materials. In 2020, Ieuan moved to the Department of Materials at Imperial College London for another postdoctoral position where he studied the interfacial properties of solid-state batteries and was a member of the Faraday Degradation project studying the degradation of Ni-rich cathode materials.
