Prof. Vegge holds a M.Sc. and PhD degree in Computational Materials Physics from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). During his career, he has worked as an “Innovation postdoc” with Danfoss Corporate Ventures and DTU Physics, as a senior scientist and group leader at Risø DTU, and been a Visiting Professor at SLAC@Stanford University and at T. U. Münich.
Prof. Vegge has been an innovator of clean energy materials for more than 18 years, working on accelerating the materials discovery and innovation process. He is an internationally leading expert in development of accelerated methodologies for integrating atomic-scale computational materials design, machine learning, advanced synthesis, in situ characterization and testing. His approaches are fundamental in nature, but maintain a clear focus on the commercial viability of next-generation clean energy materials.
Prof. Vegge is an elected member of the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV), an appointed member of the Danish Government’s Commission on Green Transportation and Mission Innovation Champion (2019), and an EU-US Frontiers of Engineering fellow (2016).
He participate in a number of international consortia, e.g. as coordinator of the Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform (BIG-MAP) in Battery 2030+. He has published >130 papers (>6.500 citations; h-index = 41).
