MIT's Bilge Yildiz and Ju Li found a way to predict how efficiently materials can transport protons in clean energy devices and other advanced technologies.

PhD student Miranda Schwacke works with Prof Bilge Yildiz to explore how computing inspired by the human brain can fuel energy-efficient artificial intelligence.

Analysis and materials identified by NSE’s Bilge Yildiz and other MIT engineers could lead to more energy-efficient fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, or computing devices.

Bilge Yildiz is the recipient of the Faraday Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry Electrochemistry Group for 2024.The medal is presented to an electrochemist working outside the UK and Ireland in recognition of their outstanding original contributions and innovation as a mid-career researcher in any field of electrochemistry.

Prof Bilge Yildiz and colleagues devised a machine-learning-based method to investigate how materials behave at their surfaces. The approach could help in developing compounds or alloys for use as catalysts, semiconductors, or battery components.

The work by NSE’s Prof Bilge Yildiz and collaborators demonstrates control over key properties leading to better performance.

Each year 15 renowned scientists and engineers are selected by their peers for advanced individual technological contributions to the fields of electrochemistry and solid state science and technology, and for service to ECS.

Bilge Yildiz, Breene M. Kerr (1951) Professor in the Departments of Nuclear Science and Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, has been elected to the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). Yildiz is one now of 143 Corresponding Members Abroad in the Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences of the OeAW.

With the support of each other and MIT faculty, students in the MCSC’s Climate and Sustainability Scholars Program are making their impact on real-world climate challenges.
