I’m a Graduate Process Development Engineer in the Scale-Up team, and my role involves anything and everything required to scale Anaphite’s DCP® process.

Team Spotlight: Gloria Bosi
What is your current role and what does it involve?
What does a typical day at Anaphite look like for you?
No day is the same! Some days I might be contributing to the design of our Validation Plant, or preparing samples for internal and external testing. Other days I may be developing new methods to collect and analyse data. I also work closely with other Anaphite teams, like Cells & Electrodes, to improve internal workflows and ensure our DCP® powders produce the highest-quality electrode films possible.
What’s been your career route to get here? Have you always wanted to work in batteries?
I completed my Mechanical Engineering Master’s at the University of Bristol, where I completed a research internship on passive thermal management methods for lithium-ion batteries. My supervisor Alastair Hales, who is also a Co-founder of About:Energy, had an infectious passion for batteries which he passed on to me.
What’s the most interesting thing you’ve worked on at Anaphite?
So far, I have really enjoyed working on the design of our new control systems, which will be massively helpful in automating our process as we continue to scale. I also really enjoy working with the Electrodes team and using their new microscope.
...and the most challenging?
Long days in the workshop testing new equipment!
What excites you about dry coating and Anaphite’s technology?
The potential for energy saving and reducing the carbon footprint associated with cathode production.
And finally, what’s your favourite battery powered object and why?
My e-bike! By far the best way to get around Bristol.
