Hahlin, Maria

Maria Hahlin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Uppsala University, Sweden, where she specializes in the advanced X-ray spectroscopy characterization of energy materials, primarily battery electrodes. Her research focuses on using sophisticated techniques like synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to analyze functional interfaces and interphases in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Her work aims to fundamentally understand how these materials perform and degrade during operation, with the ultimate goal of improving battery safety, stability, and longevity for applications in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.

Holding a PhD in Physics from Uppsala University (2010), Dr. Hahlin leads the research program “Condensed Matter Physics of Energy Materials” and holds a guest professorship at Mid Sweden University. She is a recognized expert in her field, securing significant research grants—including funding from the Swedish Research Council—and publishing extensively in high-impact scientific journals. Her contributions are vital to advancing the science of sustainable energy storage solutions
