THAI-BATT Project Brings Together UK–Thailand Industry and Academic Partners

Partners from Thailand (Chulalongkorn University, Ranked No.1 in Thailand) recently visited the UK to attend the kick-off meeting of the THAI-BATT project , funded by the Faraday Institution. The meeting marked the formal start of this international collaboration, bringing together UK and Thai researchers to align research objectives, share expertise, and establish a strong foundation for the project’s future activities.

This project was funded with UK aid from the UK Government via the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform as part of the Ayrton Fund.

Meet Dr Carlos Garcia, Research Associate at Imperial College London. Dr Garcia gives an overview of the Large-scale Multi-chemistry Degradation Study. This is a highly systematic cell degradation study, undertaken within The Faraday’s Institution (FI) MultiScale Modelling (MSM) project and performed using bespoke cells, which has been carefully designed to support the MSM project and the development of degradation mechanism models in PyBaMM by providing modellers with a relevant and dependable dataset.
📽️⚡️Meet Dr Mark Blyth, a new member of the MSM team at the University of Bristol, working on lithium ion batteries; researching how temperature gradients develop within the batteries, how that impact the performance that can be expected from them, and how to model it efficiently.
Meet Yoana Grudeva, a new member of the MSM team at the University of Portsmouth, working on modelling Phase Change Electrodes, currently focusing on nano LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) particles and understanding the origin of voltage hysteresis. https://batterymodel.co.uk/our-team/wp2/
Meet Dr. Kawa Manmi, Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, focused on physics-based modeling of Li-ion batteries Specifically, formation and growth of the SEI layer. https://batterymodel.co.uk/workpackages/#workpackage2
Meet Dr Mehrdad Babazadeh, Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, tackling battery modelling! 25+ years across academia & industry. Now unlocking the secrets of low-temperature modelling of Li-ion batteries! ❄️⚡️ More info: https://batterymodel.co.uk/workpackages/#workpackage3
Check out this video by Ruihe Li, a PhD student in Imperial College London, talking about his work on the modelling the electrolyte related degradation using PyBaMM.
Meet Dr Ivan Korotkin, a Senior Research Fellow at @unisouthampton! 🎓 He is creating fast and accurate models of Li-ion #batteries 🔋 and seamlessly integrating them into high-performance code. ⚡️ He co-developed DandeLiion, a set of cutting-edge #batterysoftware tools, and BPX, the first physics-based Battery Parameter eXchange standard. DandeLiion: https://www.dandeliion.com/ BPX: https://bpxstandard.com/ LinkedIn (since I don’t have a Twitter account): https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-korotkin/
We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Mayur Bonkile, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Imperial College London Mayur is tackling a critical challenge in #battery safety 🔋 - understanding #thermal runaway. In his #research with @Billy Wu and @Gregory Offer, he is developing physics-based models in #PyBaMM to couple thermal runaway behaviour with #degradation modes. 🌡️⚙️ These insights are a valuable tool for both #industry and #academia to build upon. Further links to dive deeper into his research! 📚✨ MSM: https://batterymodel.co.uk/ ESE: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/electrochem-sci-eng PyBaMM: https://pybamm.org/ Mayur: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.bonkile
