Prior to joining Wildcat Discovery Technologies in 2007, Dr. Steven Kaye obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Professor Jeffrey R. Long. His research focused on the design and synthesis of new microporous coordination solids for applications in gas storage, gas separation, and as microporous magnets.
12:45PM LUNCH – SERVED IN THE EXHIBITION HALL
2:30PM PANEL DISCUSSION: REDUCING BATTERY COSTS BEFORE REACHING THE PRODUCTION LINE
With the huge increase in investment in battery manufacturing facilities, great leaps forward have been made in reducing facility build and operational costs, and evolving design and engineering philosophy to enable rapid change on the shop fl oor. Battery manufacturing techniques are also evolving to meet the increasing demand for high-performance advanced batteries. This session will also outline improvements in manufacturing machinery, which can have a dramatic impact on battery costs.

4:00PM DRINKS RECEPTION – EXHIBITION HALL DAY 3: THURSDAY OCTOBER 27
9:30AM PANEL DISCUSSION: FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES – FROM THE FRONT LINES
The push to establish an advanced battery industry in America has led to an unprecedented level of capital expenditure in facilities across the country, although the US battery industry’s incipient production capacity is still dwarfed by that of Asian conglomerates. But new battery technologies have shown promising properties, and may prove to be disruptive to the products of US and foreign manufacturers. The panel will introduce a number of these new technologies and take probing questions from the audience.
