President Bush invited Argonne's Michael Thackeray to the White House
in February 2007 for a round table discussion on lithium-ion batteries
for transportation, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
As a battery expert, Thackeray provided an overview on advanced lithium
batteries, addressed the challenges of advanced battery research and
development, and showed the path forward to commercially viable lithium-ion
battery-powered vehicles.
Thackeray also has a street named after him at the Innovation
Hub in Pretoria, South Africa. A native of South Africa, Thackeray was
one of 11 South African scientists and innovators honored with his
own street name. The Innovation Hub is the first science park in Africa.
