Keynote Speakers
Dominic has research interests in all aspects of hydrodynamics, particularly as related to ship design and operation for energy efficiency. He advises Shell Shipping and Maritime on ship efficiency, decarbonisation, performance management and future ship designs. Prof. Hudson has co-authored one book, Ship Resistance and Propulsion, and published over 150 papers in archival journals and proceedings of refereed conferences. Current projects include developing whole-systems energy models for ships to allow assessment of alternative fuel demands. He is also working on energy efficient technologies for shipping, including wind-assist and air lubrication

With a PhD in solid state chemistry and materials science, Dr. Cécile Tessier has 25 years experiment in Saft Research department as scientist first, then as group manager, since 2008 and senior expert. Today, her team works on all components within Li-ion cells from active materials, to electrode and electrolyte formulation, electrode manufacturing process and modelling and cells design. Among materials studied, LNMO and Si-rich negative material are directly related to MoZEES.

Petr Novák build up the Section “Electrochemical Energy Storage” of the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland where he used to work from 1991 to 2021. A graduate of the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, he obtained his PhD in electrochemical engineering in 1984 and his habilitation in 1994. He has been working in the field of electrochemical energy storage (focusing on batteries, mainly lithium-based) since 1983, first at the J. Heyrovský Institute, Prague, later as Alexander von Humboldt-Fellow at the University of Bonn, and then at the Paul Scherrer Institute. He was awarded the Tajima Prize of the International Society of Electrochemistry, the Technology Award of the Battery Division of The Electrochemical Society, Inc., and the 2020 Yeager Award of the International Battery Association for outstanding contributions to electrochemical energy conversion and storage science over a protracted period. Dr. Novák was appointed as a full (W3) professor at the University of Karlsruhe in 2008 (rejected). Petr Novák was awarded the title of Professor of ETH Zurich in 2009 and the Honorary Professorship of the Technical University of Braunschweig in 2021.
