Martin is currently a master's degree student at the University of Oregon's Center for Electrochemistry (OCE) studying battery energy storage and green hydrogen production technologies to accelerate the renewable energy transition. While growing up in northern Michigan, he began advocating for renewable energy by leading a project to install a 20 kW solar array on his high school campus. As an undergraduate, he studied chemical engineering at the University of Michigan and held leadership roles in clean energy and carbon capture clubs, which enabled him to develop a broad engineering background on the suite of clean energy and carbon removal technologies necessary to de-carbonize the world. Having received cutting-edge training and education in electrochemistry at OCE, he is excited to intern with Sila Nanotechnologies to develop batteries that enable sustainable and effective renewable energy storage.
