André Leonide

André Leonide serves as Professor of Materials Science for Electrical Engineering at Georg Simon Ohm University of Technology since September 2022. Previously, he held research and project management positions at Siemens AG (2011-2022) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2010-2011). His academic journey includes doctoral studies at KIT where he earned his Dr.-Ing. degree in 2010 with a dissertation on SOFC modeling using impedance spectroscopy.

His research focuses on experimental modeling of electrochemical systems, particularly solid oxide fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries. Key methodologies include electrochemical characterization, impedance spectroscopy, and physical modeling of energy conversion systems. His work bridges fundamental electrochemistry with industrial applications in energy storage and conversion technologies.

Leonide's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to electrochemical energy systems, with emphasis on impedance spectroscopy applications, degradation mechanisms in fuel cells, and novel energy storage architectures. His research shows strong interdisciplinary connections between materials science, electrical engineering, and sustainable energy systems.

• Hermann Göhr Best Paper & Presentation Award (2012)
• Christian Friedrich Schönbein Contribution to Science Medal (2010)
• Friedrich and Elisabeth Boysen Foundation Research Prize (2010)

As an active researcher and educator, Leonide leads projects in DC industrial networks and high-temperature electrochemical systems. His work includes significant contributions to EU-funded energy research initiatives and industrial consulting in energy technology assessment. He maintains strong industry-academia connections through collaborative projects and invited keynote presentations at major international conferences.
