Edward Rackley

Ed uses his electrochemical materials knowledge to inform our supply chain analysis and bottom-up cost modelling. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sheffield, specialising in solid oxide fuel cell anodes. Ed’s industrial experience includes research into novel battery current collectors and spinel cathode synthesis.

Aaron Wade

Aaron leads CRU’s battery cost modelling, forecasting production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies, understanding when and how new technologies will affect the battery market.
Prior to joining CRU, Aaron completed his PhD in lithium-ion battery degradation with the Faraday Institution at UCL. During this time he interned at Exawatt part-time for the duration of his studies. Aaron is a project director of “Battery Pub”, an online networking event for the battery community.

Bex Stone

Rebecca provides Exawatt’s power electronics team with monitoring and analysis of the SiC supply chain, combining her research skills and an eye for detail to expand our knowledge of the power electronics industry while maintaining high editorial standards. She has degree in History from the University of Birmingham.

Alex Barrows

Alex heads up Exawatt’s solar PV research, with a particular focus on forecasting the efficiency and cost evolution of solar technologies in order to understand when and how new technologies will influence the PV market. He obtained his PhD in the physics of perovskite-based solar cells from the University of Sheffield.

Molly Morgan

Molly supports the PV team by tracking and forecasting evolutions in solar module efficiency and architecture, as well as providing analysis of capacity, production, and financial data for PV manufacturers. She has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a postgraduate degree in Solar Cell Technology, both from the University of Sheffield.

Elijah Santos

Elijah focuses on EV powertrain analysis and vehicle demand forecasting, and brings a system-level outlook to Exawatt’s work in power electronics and energy storage. Elijah has an MEng in Mechanical Engineering from Sheffield Hallam University.

Harry Vincent

Harry focuses on modelling the current state of the electric vehicle market to inform our research in energy storage and power electronics. After finishing an internship in January 2021, he has continued to work part-time for Exawatt while finishing his studies in Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh.

Simon Price

Simon founded Exawatt in 2015. Prior to this, he co-founded PV Tech Group, which provided factory design and integration services to solar PV manufacturers, and was a co-founder of a wet chemical technology company dedicated to improving solar cell efficiency.
