Roza Bouchal obtained her PhD in Materials Chemistry from the Charles Gerhardt Institute in Montpellier, France. She then joined the RS2E network as a postdoctoral fellow, where she investigated water-in-salt electrolytes for supercapacitors. She moved to Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, where her work focused on electrolyte design and characterization for next-generation batteries such as Li–S and Na-ion batteries. Her research particularly emphasized understanding electrolyte composition in Li–S systems using operando Raman spectroscopy. In 2021, she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany. She is currently a group leader, developing safer and more sustainable electrolytes for next-generation batteries, including Zn-metal and flow batteries.
