Dr. Parri Adeli manages the batteries program at the Nickel Institute where she applies her expertise and years of experience to ensure the performance of nickel-based battery chemistries is well understood. She also develops strategies for stakeholder engagement and sees partnerships to success. She is the host of Battery Chats with Parri, a series of online interviews with leading experts in the field, and a contributor to the Nickel Magazine and the Chronickels Blog. In June 2023, she developed the program and moderated the Inaugural Nickel Institute Battery Day where more than 500 delegates from 70+ countries attended.

Prior to joining the Nickel Institute, Parri held a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship with the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa where she worked on energy storage material formulation and optimization, particularly on solid-state batteries and composite electrolyte materials. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Waterloo (UW) in Canada. Parri is the recipient of multiple awards including the prestigious “Nickel Institute President Award”, Merit Scholarship from UW and the Nanotechnology fellowship from the Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology. She has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed papers in the field of batteries in well-reputed journals.
