We need your help to develop novel battery systems and propulsion architectures including thermal management systems incorporating the next generation of advanced battery cells. This will require the synthesis of optimal pack/module/cell specifications using electromechanical/thermal principles. In selected cases, we will prototype such novel cells/modules/packs in proof-of-concept hardware to demonstrate satisfactory operation in extreme and challenging conditions. Such proof-of-concept hardware is targeted at applications such as race cars/trucks, extreme fast-charging packs, plug-in hybrids and even satellites and rovers for space.
