Behind the Power: Daniel Evans, Former Senior Manager of Research and Development
In this episode of The Tech Connect, we talk with Dan Evans, Former Senior Manager of Research and Development at Alsym Energy, about what it takes to lead battery R&D in a high-stakes, high-growth environment.
Dan shares his unconventional path from zeolite synthesis to aqueous battery innovation, and why making non-flammable, cost-effective batteries for stationary storage might be the most urgent challenge of the decade.
We dive into:
- The startup vs. corporate R&D experience
- How cross-industry skills transfer into battery tech
- Why fire-safe batteries are crucial for grid-scale deployment
- The power of curiosity, humility, and hands-on leadership
From technical insights to honest reflections, Dan brings a grounded perspective on building something truly different, and safer, in clean energy.
