'''Patrik Johansson''' is Full Professor in Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and holds a Distinguished Professor grant with the topic of “Next Generation Batteries” from the Swedish Research Council (48.5 MSEK – ''ca.'' 4.5M€, 10 years). At Chalmers he leads a group of ''ca.'' 12 PhD students and postdocs, as well as being co-director of ALISTORE-ERI, one of Europe’s largest industry-academia networks within the field of modern batteries, and he is also the director of the Graphene Flagship.

Prof. Johansson received his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1998 from Uppsala University, Sweden and has continuously aimed at combining understanding of new materials at the molecular scale, often via ''ab initio''/DFT computational methods and IR/Raman spectroscopy, with battery concept development and real battery performance – with a special interest in all kinds of electrolytes. He is currently active in several large battery projects both at the national and European level, including educational efforts such as DESTINY. Most notably, his team won the Open Innovation Contest on Energy Storage arranged by BASF in 2015 for his new ideas on Al-battery technology (prize sum 100,000€) and in 2020 he was awarded “l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques, Grade d’Officier” by the French Ministry of Education. He has published ''ca.'' 250 papers and started the software company Compular AB together with some former PhD students.
