Riccardo Rodighiero

Specialist Battery Engineer

8inks

I am a dedicated Battery Engineer with a strong background in materials science, originally from Italy. I hold a Master’s degree in Materials Science from ETH Zurich, where I completed my master’s thesis under the guidance of Paul Baade (CTO and co-founder of 8inks).

That collaboration sparked a natural transition, and I joined 8inks shortly after graduating. For the past four years, I’ve been hands-on at 8inks developing and optimizing battery slurries. My main focus is on leveraging novel process technologies—specifically curtain coating—to significantly boost cell performance while driving down production costs to scale next-generation energy storage solutions.
