Interesting Curtiss is going to be there....He works for Doug Morris at Polaris...where the batteries were tested...( he worked for enevate as well very small world)

Curtiss Renn, Senior Scientist, and all around super guy without whom Polaris Labs could not exist. Dr. Renn brings many years of experience and scientific knowledge in the areas of nanotechnology, chemical engineering and analysis, electrochemical methodologies, and more. In the past, Curtiss has held the positions of Senior Scientist at ReVolt Technology, Senior Scientist at IdaTech, Senior Chemist at ReyTech, R&D Manager at Perstorp AB. Dr. Renn obtained his PhD in Analytical Chemistry in 1991 from the University of Washington.
Curtiss is a phenomenal chef, and believes any chemist worth his salt also knows how to cook. We may not be able to whip up a tasty salmon barbecue like he can, but we are glad he shares his handiwork in the break room!

Doug Morris, CEO and Founder, has over 30 years experience in the telecommunications, components, battery, and energy storage industry. Prior to working at Polaris Labs, Doug was Vice President of Operations at Enevate, a developer of advanced silicon anodes for smart phone applications, where he was responsible for supply chain, quality and manufacturing for the company. Doug has also held various executive, management, and engineering positions over his 21 year career with Motorola where he was Vice President and Director of Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain Management for the Energy Systems Group. Doug was also a founder of Motorola’s Product Testing Services business, and established EnerSol Consulting Services in 2003

Look who is here at the close of the conference....DOE VTO....very interesting....


4:40 U.S. Department of Energy Electric Vehicle Battery Research Pathways and Key Results

Brian Cunningham, Engineer, U.S. Department of Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy set key technical targets necessary to enable Electric Vehicles (EV) to be as affordable as gasoline vehicles by 2022. A focus of this effort is the development of more cost-effective, longer lasting, and more abuse-tolerant EV batteries. VTO’s battery R&D effort includes multiple activities, ranging from battery materials research to battery cell and pack development and testing. This presentation highlights the current battery R&D pathways supported by VTO and key technical results from 2017.

5:05 PANEL DISCUSSION: The Cost of Quality in Advanced Battery Development and Manufacturing

Moderator: John Wozniak, President, Energy Storage and Power Consulting

Panelists: Bruce Miller, Technology Strategist, Dell

Brian Cunningham, Engineer, U.S. Department of Energy

Curtiss Renn, PhD, Senior Scientist, Polaris Laboratories LLC

Additional Panelists to be Announced

The development of durable and affordable advanced batteries for use in automotive, consumer electronics and stationary applications drives R&D activities. This panel of experts examines the true cost of quality and how approaches to the development of advanced batteries must be adapted to avoid the significant pitfalls on the road to commercialization.
