Measure
Heat generation and flux
Establish the thermal load under defined electrical operating conditions.
Battery thermal management
Control temperature before it controls battery life.
Battery thermal management research links cell heat generation, local temperature distribution and cooling strategy so EV and grid-storage systems can be evaluated against safety, efficiency and degradation constraints.
Research question
How should thermal evidence shape system design?
The work combines experimental heat-flow measurement with multiphysics reasoning about conduction, convection and cell-to-pack temperature variation. The engineering objective is not simply lower temperature; it is a controlled and sufficiently uniform operating window that supports performance, safety and service life.
Model
Local temperature distribution
Represent where thermal gradients emerge and how cooling boundaries influence them.
Design
Cooling architecture
Compare management approaches against temperature uniformity, packaging and energy-use constraints.
Validate
Evidence against assumptions
Use measured behavior to test model parameters and improve design decisions.
