Autumn update 2024 1 October 2024
A warm welcome to new group members Blanka Gaál and Tihana Štefanić who arrived in October and are working on LMFP modelling/testing and electrochemical-thermal-mechanical coupling in large format cells, respectively, both with industry partners.
Faraday Institution conference 2024 1 September 2024
Several of us had a great time attending the Faraday Institution’s annual conference, this year held at Newcastle University, where we presented work on battery electro-thermal modelling, parallel packs, and lifetime prediction.
Autumn update 2022 1 October 2022
A warm welcome to new group members Emmanuelle Hagopian and Joe Ross who arrived in October and are working on voltage hysteresis and power prediction, respectively. We were sad to say goodbye to Antti Aitio recently who has moved to take up a position in industry. You can read about his awesome PhD work on battery life diagnostics and machine learning here.
Conference season 10 July 2022
It’s been a busy few months as the world opens up to travelling again. Professor Howey gave keynote presentations at ModVal in Germany, the ISE Topical Meeting in Sweden, and the Benelux Meeting on Systems and Control; Nicola Courtier and Ross Drummond spent time working with Luis Cuoto at ULB in Belgium on battery fast charging, and Gosia Wojtala gave a talk at the 241st ECS Meeting on how battery ageing impacts entropy measurements.
Congrats to Sam Greenbank on passing his viva! 3 February 2022
Huge congratulations to Sam Greenbank who today successfully defended his doctoral work on battery aging using machine learning to predict lifetime. Read more about this topic in Sam’s excellent IEEE paper.
