Vladimir Neburchilov received his PhD in electrochemistry/electrocatalysis from Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry (Moscow, Russia). After postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) and National Research Council of Canada Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI) (Vancouver, Canada), he continued his scientific career as a research officer at NRC-IFCI. He has more than 27 years of experience developing innovative electrocatalysts for metal-air batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, fuel cells, and membrane chlorine electrolyzers. He has four diplomas, including a Master's of Science and an MBA (SFU Beedie School of Business, Vancouver) in management of technology. He has experience in the commercialization of his own electrochemical technologies. He holds 8 international patents and has coauthored more than 32 refereed journal papers, written 4 book chapters, and coedited 1 book. He has prepared more than 25 industrial technical reports.
