Prof. Donald Sadoway of MIT, Joins the Electrovaya Board
2012 Time Magazine: 100 most Influential People in the World
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire **/ April 17, 2025 /**Electrovaya Inc. ("Electrovaya" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ELVA)(TSX:ELVA), a leading lithium-ion battery technology and manufacturing company, announced the appointment of Prof. Donald R. Sadoway to the Company's Board of Directors.
Donald R. Sadoway is Professor of Materials Chemistry Emeritus in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With a Ph.D. in Chemical Metallurgy from the University of Toronto he joined the MIT faculty in 1978. The author of over 180 scientific papers and inventor on 42 U.S. patents, his research is directed towards batteries for grid-scale storage and electric vehicles and towards environmentally sound metals extraction technologies. His accomplishments include the invention of the liquid metal battery for large-scale stationary storage and the invention of molten oxide electrolysis for carbon-free metals production.
He is a co-founder of six companies: Ambri, Boston Metal, Lunar Resources, Avanti Battery, Pure Lithium, and Sadoway Labs. Online videos of his chemistry lectures hosted by MIT OpenCourseWare extend his impact on engineering education far beyond the lecture hall. Viewed over 2½ million times, his TED talk is as much about inventing inventors as it is about inventing technology. In 2012 Time magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
"Electrovaya's unique lithium-ion battery technology with superior safety and cycle life offers exciting opportunities for electrifying the most energy intensive and mission-critical applications.
