[What the role is]

[What you will be working on]

• 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 & Elect...
