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 a Faraday Undergraduate Summer Experience (FUSE) Internship in 2021 looking at electrolyte materials. With an interest in tackling climate change and helping to create a more sustainable future, Emmanuelle is looking to pursue a career in the energy sector, helping towards the target of Net Zero whether that be in academia or industry.

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.

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.

Dr Mehrdad Babazadeh is a research fellow at the WMG University of Warwick, where he works with Dr. Dhammika Widanalage on Grey-box modelling of Li-ion batteries. The main focus of the work is on the modelling in low temperature, high Charge/Discharge status.

Dr Monica Marinescu is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, where she leads work on physics-based Li-ion battery modelling, including understanding of coupled battery degradation, as well as on distributed thermally coupled equivalent circuit models for cell and pack design and control.

Dr Ferdinand Grimm joined the Electrochemical Science and Engineering group in February 2023 where he works with Prof. Gregory Offer and Dr. Monica Marinescu on distributed degradation modelling using equivalent circuits. Previously he worked on power electronics, electrical drives and thermal management of automotive Li-ion battery cells.
