Gustav Graeber is leading the Graeber Lab for Energy Research at the Department of Chemistry at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He earned his B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from TU Berlin, his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University, and his PhD from ETH Zurich. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) from 2019 to 2021, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2021 to 2023.

In March 2023, he joined Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as a research group leader. With his team, he works towards energy storage solutions that are safe, sustainable and powerful, with a major focus on sodium batteries and solid electrolytes. Recently, he also started a position as guest researcher at Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) to study safety in energy storage applications.
