Lead and execute R&D projects on Battery Management Systems (BMS) for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and other next-generation batteries.
Conduct system-level research on battery safety and external monitoring (excluding materials development), focusing on failure mechanisms, protection strategies, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement and analysis.
Design and optimise multi-source energy management systems integrating batteries, solar PV, fuel cells, and hybrid configurations.
Develop and implement algorithms for battery diagnostics, including SOC, SOH, SOP estimation, predictive analytics, early-warning safety mechanisms, and hybrid energy optimisation.
Advance research on future battery systems from an Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) perspective, such as:
a. Cloud-connected and distributed BMS architectures with AI-assisted diagnostics.
b. Real-time health monitoring and on-the-fly EIS.
c. Digital twins for Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
d. Fast-charging strategies from a control perspective.
e. Integration of new battery types at the system level.
Support the development of next-generation ESS and microgrid integration, emphasising control, power electronics, and system-level optimisation.
Prepare and manage project proposals, research grants, technical documentation, and reports.
Collaborate with industry partners on R&D initiatives, prototype validation, and technology deployment.
