The European Academy of Sciences is delighted to congratulate Prof. Khalil Amine, EurASc Fellow and Argonne Distinguished Fellow, on his election to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in the United States as part of the Class of 2025.
Prof. Amine was selected “For Leadership of developments in the materials Science of Batteries and energy storage devices”, a distinction that recognises his outstanding contributions to advanced battery research, energy storage innovation, and the development of next-generation materials and chemistries.
A leading materials scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and Professor at the University of Chicago, Prof. Amine heads Argonne’s Advanced Battery Technology programme. His research spans advanced lithium-ion systems, solid-state electrolytes, novel cathode and anode materials, and “beyond-lithium” chemistries with applications across automotive, grid, aerospace, military, and medical technologies.
With more than 200 patents and over two decades as one of the world’s most cited scientists in battery technology, Prof. Amine has significantly influenced the global landscape of energy storage science. Among numerous distinctions, he received the Global Energy Prize (2019) and is a distinguished member of several leading scientific societies, including EurASc.
Prof. Amine emphasised that this honour reflects not only his own work but also the dedication of colleagues and collaborators worldwide, as well as the exceptional research environment at Argonne National Laboratory.
Founded in 1964, the NAE elects new members through peer review to acknowledge exceptional contributions to engineering research, practice, and education. Prof. Amine and the other members of the 2025 class will be formally inducted during the NAE Annual Meeting in October.
EurASc warmly congratulates Prof. Amine on this prestigious achievement and proudly celebrates the continued excellence of its Fellows on the international stage.
