Max A. Saccone

Max A. Saccone is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University, focusing on advanced battery materials and energy storage solutions. Previously, he was a graduate student in chemical engineering at Caltech under Professor Julia R. Greer.

His educational background includes:

• Dartmouth College: AB and BE in Engineering Sciences with a Chemistry minor (2017)

Max's research centers on understanding mechanical degradation in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries through nanomechanical experiments and developing additive manufacturing techniques for robust 3D-architected battery materials. His work aims to enhance the cyclability of low-cost, earth-abundant Li-S batteries for grid storage and transportation, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.

He has been recognized with the Resnick Graduate Research Fellowship. His research is supported by this fellowship and focuses on sustainability-driven projects, including environmental stewardship through trail maintenance and eco-friendly research.
