Research

My goal as a researcher is to advance electrochemical energy storage technologies in order to support the transition to a Net-Zero economy by decarbonizing transport and the grid. To achieve this, I am focused on developing multi-scale multi-physics modelling platforms that integrate a wide range of scientific and engineering skills, and that work closely with industry to drive impact. My research is centered on the intersection of battery science and engineering design, with a particular focus on optimizing the performance of complete vehicles through effective battery design. 

During my PhD, I conducted extensive research on battery energy storage systems (BESS) for use in renewable hybrid power systems, examining the technical and economic aspects of BESS, analyzing battery degradation, exploring thermal management strategies, and developing power management control strategies. Using physics-based battery models, I evaluated the performance of BESS under a range of real-world conditions throughout the year, and my research has contributed to the development of advanced modeling and control techniques for next-generation energy storage systems. My research draws on a diverse range of disciplines, including numerical methods, renewable energy, electrochemical engineering, systems and control engineering, and thermal sciences.
