Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Day is a physicist-turned-operations leader with eight years of experience spanning condensed matter research and industrial-scale lithium processing. As Senior Director of Operations at Mangrove Lithium, he bridges deep technical expertise in quantum materials and electrochemistry with hands-on pilot plant and scale-up experience. His academic career—PhD in Condensed Matter Physics, postdoctoral fellowships at UBC and UC Berkeley, and work as a Banting Fellow—underpins a rigorous, data-driven approach to process development and instrumentation. He has built research software (chinook), developed novel characterization techniques for batteries, and previously contributed quantum chemistry expertise in industry. Based in Vancouver, he combines lab-level scientific curiosity (and a knack for baking sourdough) with pragmatism for commercial deployment of cleaner lithium technologies.
