Catherine Folkson

Associated PhD

Catherine Folkson is a PhD student within the Mechanical Engineering Department and is supervised by Dr Monica Marinescu and Prof. Gregory Offer. Catherine’s research focus is on physics-based modelling of the degradation of Li-ion batteries at extreme temperatures (<10°C and >50°C) to understanding the impact on battery operation and lifetime.

Thomas Holland

Associated PhD

Thomas Holland is a PhD student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London, where he works with Dr Monica Marinescu and Prof. Gregory Offer on reduced-order Li-ion battery modelling, understanding of battery degradation and diagnostic methods.

Andrea Giudici

Research Associate

Dr Andrea Giudici is a Post Doctoral Research Associate at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford where he works with Prof. Jon Chapman and Prof. Colin Please on the mechanical modelling of Li-ion batteries. He  focuses on understanding how mechanics affects both the electrochemistry and degradation process of batteries.

Mark Blyth

Research Associate

Mark Blyth is a research associate at the University of Bristol. He works with Dr Alastair Hales, to produce computationally efficient battery models that explicitly capture inhomogeneities.

Brad Ayers

Associated PhD

Marcus Tuchel

Associated PhD

Marcus Tuchel is an associated PhD student at the University of Birmingham investigating in-situ sensors within Li-ion batteries to determine the battery’s state of health or to detect faults. He is supervised by Professor Emma Kendrick

E. Hagopian

PhD

Emmanuelle has a degree in chemistry received from the University of Edinburgh and is undertaking a PhD focusing on modelling open circuit voltage hysteresis in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, supervised by Prof. Charles Monroe, as part of the multi-scale modelling project.  She was inspired to pursue a career in the battery sector after having undertaken […]

Nicola Courtier

Research Associate

Dr Nicola Courtier is a research associate in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, where she works with Prof. David Howey to develop methods for parameter estimation and optimal control of Li-ion battery models for degradation-aware fast charging.

James Marco

Co-I

Professor James Marco is Head of the Energy Directorate at WMG and leads the Battery Systems Research Group. Broad research interests are focussed on the challenge of scaling-up individual battery cells to complete energy storage systems, including the use of data-driven, modelling, and experimental methods to optimise battery integration, performance and life.
