Volker Presser elected Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry

vpresser — Mon, 11 May 2026 10:26:06 +0000

Prof. Dr. Volker Presser has been elected Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE). This distinction recognizes his scientific contributions to electrochemical materials and technologies. The ISE Fellowship is awarded to a small group of active researchers for continuing scientific and technical achievements in electrochemistry. Within ISE, Fellows represent only a small fraction of the active membership, and typically only a few new Fellows are elected each year.
