Novonix announced a new five year program with Dr. Obrovac

“Novonix is pleased to announce that it will extend its sponsorship of Prof. Mark Obrovac’s lab at Dalhousie University through a new research agreement under the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada’s Alliance Grants Program.”

The Canadian government’s NSERC alliance program will contribute CA$2.2M over the 5-year term.

Novonix CEO, Dr. Chris Burns, said: “We are excited to renew our relationship with Dr. Obrovac’s lab. It has been extremely valuable to have a team focused on new materials projects across a range of battery materials. The synergy of this lab located so close to our development center in Halifax allows our team to quickly assess materials or processes on our battery cell pilot line and with Novonix BTS’s significant internal testing resources.”

Prof. Obrovac said: “It is great to be able to continue our relationship with Novonix. As a partner, Novonix has provided opportunities for commercialisation of our developed technology and a place for our students and researchers to gain experience around battery development and testing. I’m also excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Jeff Dahn later this year when he joins the Novonix team.”
