Alexandre Roelens
PhD student
Biography
Holding a joint Master’s degree from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Alexandre developed a strong interest in materials research and the challenges associated with materials design.
Since early 2025, he has been part of the European research project FULL-MAP, a large European consortium dedicated to pushing the boundaries of battery materials as well as developing tools and methodologies to accelerate materials research and design.
His expertise lies in computational chemistry applied to battery materials, combining a range of modelling techniques, from Density Functional Theory (DFT) to classical Molecular Dynamics (MD). His research focuses on electrolyte optimisation, electrolyte–electrode interfaces, and the investigation of degradation mechanisms occurring at these interfaces.
