Saar Kirmayer

Leading the R&D team of 12 scientists responsible for developing a long-duration electrochemical energy storage system based on an iron redox flow battery. Supporting engineering efforts of scaling up and escorting the full scale-up process from lab to full commercial scale facility.

Headed the electrochemistry and energy storage R&D efforts. Research project manager. Researching and developing new materials and processes for advanced solar cells and batteries. Synthesis of new materials. Slurry/paste/ink formulation and testing. Coating and printing tests. Product development and adjustment to project requirements, including device testing. Scaling up lab-bench processes to pilot scale. Sitting in the due diligence consulting team for new investments of Landa Ventures.

Built and managed a group of 12 researchers (interviewing and hiring, building work plans, purchasing equipment, and adjusting infrastructure) to work on new materials and processes for fast charging lithium-ion batteries. Helped build the scale-up and pilot line for in-house pouch production. Working with OEMs for technology transfer and collaboration.

In charge of half of the thin film deposition and etching process line in a III-V/II-VI fab (PVD, CVD, PE-CVD, ion implantation, ion-beam etcher, plasma asher etc.) for R&D and fabrication of IR-PV and IR-LASER diode. DOE, SPC, and leading the DFSS engineering team. Clean room proficient.
