Under the guidance of a supervisor, the Postdoctoral Researcher will conduct research in electrochemical energy storage to support the Battery Performance and Cost (BatPaC) modeling team. The researcher will develop and apply physical, chemical, and electrochemical models for advanced battery technologies and associated manufacturing processes. This work will quantify and explain relationships among material properties, electrochemical performance, and battery system cost at the material, cell, and pack levels.

The researcher will plan and advance performance and cost modeling of energy storage devices, with emphasis on lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and lead-acid battery systems. Modeling and analysis will leverage tools such as COMSOL, MATLAB, Excel, Python, and related scientific software. The role requires familiarity with chemical processing and process scale-up to support manufacturing and cost estimation within BatPaC. The researcher will build and validate models, analyze an...
