About the Speaker
Dr. Ingo Manke is a physicist and the Head of the Imaging Group within the Institute of Applied Materials at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). With a career spanning over two decades, he has established himself as a leading international expert in the field of operando imaging and digital twins for energy materials. His research primarily utilizes advanced X-ray and neutron tomography to visualize the internal 3D/4D microstructures of batteries and fuel cells, specifically focusing on degradation mechanisms like dendrite formation and water transport. A highly cited author with hundreds of publications, Dr. Manke plays a pivotal role in bridging experimental physics and materials science at the BESSY II synchrotron, where his work directly informs the development of safer, more efficient next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies.
