> Professor Donald R. Sadoway is the current John F. Elliott Professor of Materials Chemistry at MIT. Professor Sadoway's research seeks to establish the scientific underpinnings for technologies that make efficient use of energy and natural resources in an environmentally sound manner. This spans engineering applications and the supportive fundamental science. In 2010, Professor Sadoway co-founded Ambri, which utilizes liquid metal battery to provide electricity storage solution that will change the way electric grids are operated worldwide, and is currently serving as its chief scientific advisor. In 2012, Professor Sadoway gave a TED talk speech on grid storage using antimony batteries. In the same year, he was named one of Time magazine's "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World" for his continuing work in improved batteries.
