Motivation
As electric vehicles become the cornerstone of future mobility, engineers face new challenges throughout the entire development and validation process. At the heart of every EV lies its most valuable component: the lithium-ion battery (LIB). Understanding how these batteries degrade over time is critical to improving their lifespan, safety, and performance.
However, there’s a twist: batteries don’t always age the same way in controlled lab tests as they do when integrated into full systems. That’s where your research comes in.
By exploring real-world aging behavior at both cell and system levels, you’ll contribute to a deeper understanding of battery technology—paving the way for smarter models and more robust designs.
Your Mission
In collaboration with the ongoing project TwinBat—conducted jointly by the Institute of Automotive Technology and TÜV Süd Battery Testing GmbH—you will analyze large-scale battery aging data from both consumer-grade and automotive-grade batteries.
Your goal: uncover the key differences between isolated cell testing and full-system aging, and help bridge the gap between theory and practice.
