By popular demand, Case Western Reserve University’s Electronic Design Center (EDC) in partnership with Professor Rohan Akolkar successfully launched an ECS-sponsored electrochemical engineering focused workshop this year (June 2-4, 2025). CWRU has always held a strong and respected position in electrochemistry and now welcomes all to experience it firsthand.

The workshop, conducted and taught by ECS Fellow and CWRU’s electrochemical engineering faculty member, Prof. Rohan Akolkar, is aimed at bringing together engineers and scientists of various experience levels and backgrounds to help them acquire skills for practicing electrochemical engineering as part of their professions in industry, national laboratories and academia. Through carefully designed lectures on electrochemistry fundamentals, hands-on laboratory experiments, discussions on emerging topics, and opportunities for networking and dialogue with CWRU faculty, participants were able to acquire knowledge on engineering principles surrounding industrial electrochemical systems.

In the inaugural year, we welcomed 17 participants from a variety of institutions such as De Nora Tech., Borregaard, Schlumberger (SLB), Moses Lake Industries (MLI), Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Sandia National Lab, UCLA, University of Michigan, Brigham Young University, and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. From students and postdoctoral researchers to scientists and R&D managers, professionals from all backgrounds came together in a collaborative environment bringing with them their questions, curiosity, and enthusiasm for electrochemistry.  

The next session will bring even more enhancements for industry attendees and partners and is scheduled for June 8-10, 2026, with registration opening November 2025.
