David Bock is an associate scientist in the Energy Storage Division of the Interdisciplinary Science Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
He received a BS degree in chemistry from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 2008 and a PhD from Stony Brook University in 2015. His PhD research concentrated on understanding and preventing parasitic cathode dissolution reactions in the battery system used to power implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
David first joined Brookhaven National Laboratory as a postdoctoral research associate and is now an associate member of the scientific staff. His research interests encompass many aspects of energy storage, including novel electrolytes and new approaches for fast charging of Li-ion batteries. He has coauthored over 50 publications in the field. His research emphasizes using state of the art tools, including in situ synchrotron techniques, to provide mechanistic insight into electrochemical behavior.
