The project aims to assist in the development of novel materials and processes for Vanadium flow batteries, a promising technology for large-scale energy storage applications. This work will develop a unified framework for the robotic optimization of flow batteries, working across multiple groups and institutes, to create a coherent and easily transferrable approach – from idea to industrialization.

PhD objectives:

• Develop a unified software framework: Create a comprehensive software platform capable of generalizing optimization processes for flow batteries.
• Develop a parameterized framework: Design a flexible framework that incorporates various models and automation software for different equipment.
• Implement the framework: Apply the developed framework to optimize flow battery development cycles through holistic case studies.
