Daniel Sharon

Daniel Sharon is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Argonne National Laboratory and in the Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. He earned his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Bar-Ilan University in Israel Daniel has been working on the development of new electrolytes, including polymer electrolytes, for next generation lithium-ion batteries.

Daniel current research focus on fundamental structure/function relationships in ion-conducting block-copolymers electrolyte and matel electrodeposition by using polymer self-assembly methods
