Lana graduated with a First-Class MSci Chemistry degree from the University of Birmingham in July 2025. Her master’s research was conducted under the Faraday Institution’s ReLiB (Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries) project, where she explored a novel solid-state method for regenerating end-of-life lithium iron phosphate cathodes. Her work combined materials recovery with electrochemical testing, contributing to sustainable approaches for battery reuse.
Lana Robinson is a graduate scientist specialising in electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on sustainable battery technologies. Her core interests include battery recycling, circular battery ecosystem models, and the metrology of both emerging and established battery materials. She is particularly driven by the goal of enabling closed-loop systems for lithium-ion batteries and enhancing traceability across their lifecycle. Her work aims to support the development of robust metrology frameworks that underpin reliable material recovery and performance assessment. Lana is committed to advancing technologies and standards that facilitate the transition to net-zero.
