Biography
Dr Teng Zhang is a lecturer in Automotive Engineering in the department of Mechanical Engineering Sciences. He obtained his PhD from National University of Singapore in 2014 on multi-scale modelling of organic solar cells. Before joining Â鶹ÊÓƵ, he spent 3 years as a research associate at Imperial College London working on modelling and testing of high energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries for automotive applications. He contributed to several UK and EU projects in collaboration with industry, such as the 'REVB (Revolutionary Electric Vehicle Batteries)' and the 'ECLIPSE (Next-generation Battery Technology for Space Applications )' projects on lithium-sulfur batteries, and the 'ALICE (Advanced Lithium-Ion Capacitor Electrodes )' project on lithium-ion capacitors.
My qualifications
ResearchResearch interests
I'm interested in exploring strategies to improve the mechanistic understanding, system-level design, and control of energy storage systems through modelling and characterisation of the underlying electrochemistry and transport phenomena at different scales. My on-going research covers:
- Multiscale modelling of lithium-sulfur batteries
- Full & reduced-order models for Li-ion batteries
- Solid-state batteries
- Novel battery thermal management concepts
Research projects
Co-lead for developing meso-scale Li-S electrode models (2019 -)
Royal Society Research GrantThermal modelling & characterisation of Li-S cells (2019-20)
