Cooper Yerby

Battery & Critical Metals Supply Chain Fellow @Critical Minerals, Materials, & Manufacturing At Cmei

Washington, DC, US

As a Fellow at the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), I focus on advancing the U.S. battery and critical metals supply chains by engaging with key stakeholders across the private and public sectors. My role involves collecting and analyzing data on battery technologies, participating in strategic collaborations with initiatives like the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB) and Li-Bridge, and contributing to the development of U.S. infrastructure for both critical metal procurement and battery manufacturing. I also conduct research on critical materials processing, manufacturing, and recycling, and produce technical reports to inform future decision-making and investments in battery technology deployment.
