Overview
It is difficult to be unaware of the efforts going into the development of low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels. In most sectors, battery power is at least part of the replacement. In the automotive sector, many countries are phasing out internal combustion engines entirely in favour of battery electric vehicles. Battery modelling and management is key enabling technology for this.
Features
We are seeking applicants for Battery Systems Engineering - Modelling, State Estimation and Health Monitoring PhD research at Cranfield University who are interested in one or more of the following areas:
- Fast parameter fitting for reduced order electrochemical models.
- Early detection of thermal anomalies in battery packs.
- Physics-based models and state of health estimation in lithium-sulfur batteries.
- Collecting data and learning from in-service vehicle fleets and predicting remaining useful life.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Research students at Cranfield benefit from being part of a dynamic, focused and professional study environment and all become valued members of the Cranfield Doctoral Network.
- This network brings together both research students and staff, providing a platform for our researchers to share ideas and collaborate in a multi-disciplinary environment.
