Gavin Visits Michigan Energy Institute, Alfred University and RIT Golisano Institute in the US

In August 2019 Gavin visited three US institutions to discuss battery recycling and critical materials. At the University of Michigan he met Anna Stefanopoulou, Director of the Michigan Energy Institute, to compare notes on running energy institutes. He also toured the university's battery lab and fabrication facilities with Technical Director Greg Less.

At Alfred University he spoke with Gabrielle Gaustad, Dean of the Inamori School of Engineering, and gave a seminar on recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles and the Faraday Institution's ReLiB project.

He then visited the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute of Technology, which works on recovering critical materials from waste electronics and unconventional sources, and toured its LEED Platinum certified building.
