Dr Jakub Dzięgielowski is the founder and CEO of Bactery and a chemical engineer whose research created bacteria-powered batteries (“bacteries”) that harvest electricity from microbial metabolism. During his PhD at University of Bath he pioneered research in soil-rechargeable batteries, and in 2019, built a soil-powered water-purification system in Brazil, demonstrating real impact for remote and developing communities. Bactery is now scaling, with installations delivering clean power across 5 different continents.
