While pursuing his Chemical Engineering degree at the University of California, Berkeley, Caleb Alexander served as president of the AIChE chapter and founded both a brewing club and a biodiesel club to provide students with hands-on engineering experience. He also took a chemical engineering economics class that introduced him to finance and game theory, which he applied to develop a business plan for a deep-sea rare earth element mining company. This experience sharpened his ability to view problems from a broader perspective and identify impactful solutions.
Caleb’s expertise includes scaling chemical processes to industrial levels, enriched by his background in electrochemistry from UC Berkeley, Li-ion research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and a PhD focused on metal-air batteries and fuel cells at the University of Texas, Austin. By analyzing the periodic table and leveraging his diverse experiences, he has focused on developing high-energy, low-cost battery chemistry.
As an alumnus of Innovation Crossroads, Caleb continues to work towards making the Na-Air battery scalable and long-lasting, with a vision for a cleaner, more sustainable world.
