Fokko Mulder

After studying physics in Leiden, I received my PhD on a solid state physics topic (cum laude). For about twenty years I have been associated with TU Delft doing research on energy storage materials, since 2008 as a professor at the Faculty of Applied Physics. The research includes battery materials, hydrogen storage and production methods. In terms of teaching, I helped shape the new master's in Sustainable Energy Technology at Delft, and have been teaching various energy storage-related courses there since 2006.

The intention is to work on electricity storage and conversion solutions that should eventually be applicable on a large scale; the systems should be able to contribute to the coming energy transition. Hence, research is going into more efficient hydrogen, lithium or sodium-based batteries, and the production of hydrogen and ammonia as fuels and as industrial feedstock. I am (co-)author of about 150 publications in international scientific journals and of several patents. Furthermore, I am involved in committees of NWO, NVAO, and an international working group within the 'EU-SET Plan' in the field of battery research and development, among others.
