S.S.T. Husein PhD (Sebastian)

Sebastian Husein develops programs and builds (public + private) consortia for energy-related topics. He works within the Battery Centre Twente, supporting four research pillars: 1) Next Generation Materials and Cells, 2) Advanced Manufacturing, and 3) Efficient Packs and Systems, and 4) Smart Applications & System Design.

As part of the Strategic Business Development Department, Sebastian also works with many researchers across the UT's strong base of innovative energy technologies and approaches: for advanced battery technologies, solar energy, sustainable data centres, [green] hydrogen, and other topics for the energy transition. He has expertise in coordinating and leading large, multi-EU-member state funding schemes such as IPCEIs (Important Project of Common European Interest). 

Sebastian earned his Ph.D. in 2020 from Arizona State University with his thesis, "Enhanced Carrier Mobility in Hydrogenated and Amorphous Transparent Conducting Oxides." With his technical background in semiconductors and thin films for photovoltaic devices, he links academic vision with industry expertise to effectively position resources for energy transition challenges.
