Dr. Grundish earned a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering as the last student of Prof. John B. Goodenough, who was a co-recipient of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his role in developing the rechargeable Lithium ion battery.

Grundish is now the Vice President of Battery Technology at EnergyX, a lithium supply-chain startup, where he started the Battery Innovation Laboratory and large cell prototyping line from scratch. EnergyX is now scaling its technology to large format cells and designing a pilot facility to produce its batteries with the goal of extending the range of electric vehicles and drastically reducing their charge time while also lowering their cost. The company has raised $22 million and has secured a $450 million funding commitment from Global Emerging Markets upon an IPO.
