About

I am the founder and director of BatteryDesign.net, a platform that provides knowledge, tools, and resources for battery professionals and enthusiasts. My mission is to share my knowledge and passion for physics and engineering, and to inspire and empower others to learn and create. I have a strong background in EV energy use and low carbon vehicle projects, and I have published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. My work as a battery consultant spans all applications and forms of batteries. As a scientific advisor at About:Energy, I contribute to the development and implementation of innovative solutions for sustainable energy systems. With over 12 years of experience in battery research, design, and delivery, I have a deep understanding of the physics, chemistry, and engineering aspects of energy storage technologies.
