Jasmin Smajic, PhD

About

I am an engineer, materials scientist, and writer with a passion for batteries and energy storage. My work spans academic research, startup innovation, and leading engineering teams, covering batteries from atoms to systems.

With a decade of experience, I have contributed to 20+ scientific publications in the fields of advanced materials for energy, sensing and electronic devices. In industry, I focus on driving innovation, product development, and business alignment across the full battery value chain, from materials and cell R&D to system-level integration and commercial energy storage deployment.

I hold a Ph.D and M.Sc. in Materials Science & Engineering from KAUST, as well as a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Rijeka.

I also write about energy, materials, and batteries on my blog, Lithium Horizons.
