RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am skilled and passionate to employ Electrochemical and Material science synthesis and investigation methods to develop and build on lithium-ion batteries, bio-fuel cell, and chemical sensor technologies. Specialized in analysis and evaluation of material and battery performance through coin cell and full pouch cell assembly using lab line equip. Besides, I am also interested to develop monitoring and predicting patterns for the interface issue and battery performance prediction by combining data analytics like PCA (Principal Component Analysis) with structural data in material and batteries. Recent research project mainly focusses on solid batteries, adopting solid state electrolytes including pure inorganic electrolyte and polymer/inorganic composite electrolyte for batteries application in large energy storage system.
