Dr. Ing. Sabrina Zellmer

Dr.-Ing. Sabrina Zellmer is Head of Department Process and Production Engineering for Sustainable Energy Storage Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST since January 2019. Sabrina Zellmer studied mechanical engineering at the TU Braunschweig, where she proceeded her studies in the field of nanomaterials as a research associate at the Institute for Particle Technology. In 2014 she was assigned as the team leader of the research group “Particle Functionalization”. During her work at the Institute for Particle Technology, she broadened her scientific expertise by working in the Battery LabFactory Braunschweig (BLB), becoming the head of the research field "Future Materials" and afterwards, the leader of the junior research group "Solid-State Battery Materials and Electrodes”. Due to her extensive expertise and encouragement, she was selected for the steering committee dedicated to Battery Process Engineering within the BLB, with the special focus on solid-state batteries. Since January 2019 Sabrina Zellmer is Head of Department Process and Production Engineering for Sustainable Energy Storage Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST. In 2020, Sabrina Zellmer defended her doctoral thesis entitled "Small molecule stabilization and spray drying of metal oxide nanoparticles” at TU Braunschweig (summa cum laude).
