Karim Zaghib received his MS (1987) and PhD (1990), both in electrochemistry, from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France under the direction of Bernadette Nguyen. In 2002, he received the HDR (Habilitation a Diriger la Recherche) in materials science from the Universite de Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France. From 1986 to 1990, Dr. Zaghib developed Al-Mn alloys as negative electrodes in molten salts for Li-ion batteries and Cu/Zn reaction displacement. In 1990, Dr. Zaghib published a new method to enhance the electrodeposition of metals. From 1990-1995, he was a post-doctoral fellow investigating chemical lithiation of graphite under a Saft-DGA contract. Then from 1992 to 1995, Dr. Zaghib was guest researcher for the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (METI); and in 1995 he was instrumental in introducing Li-ion technology to HydroQuebec, where he is currently the Director of the Conversion and Storage of Energy Department.
