Teamwork makes the dream work!
BatteryModel.com is developed and maintained by a dedicated team of scientists at the Norwegian research institute SINTEF, the largest independent research institute in Scandinavia. Electrochemical research is a core focus area for researchers at SINTEF. Through research projects with the Norwegian Research Council and European Union, as well as direct industry projects, SINTEF aims to live up to its motto and develop Technology for a Better Society!
Dr. Simon Clark
Dr. Simon Clark is a core developer of BattMo and the Battery Interface Ontology (BattINFO). Dr. Clark started his career in Mechanical Engineering, graduating with highest honor from the Georgia Tech in the USA. In 2010, he began working in Germany as a model-based design consultant for European Space Agency missions like Solar Orbiter. Since 2012, he has been developing new methods to model electrochemical systems and has worked at world-class research institutes including the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU), and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Wuerttemberg (ZSW). He was awarded the degree of Dr. rer. nat. Summa cum Laude in Computational Electrochemistry from Ulm University. Since 2018, Dr. Clark has been a Research Scientist at SINTEF, based in Trondheim, Norway.
