Data-Driven State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Universal Feature Selection

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on

A simple yet effective health indicator (HI)-based data-driven model forecasting the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus enabling their efficient management is developed. Five HIs with high physical significance and predictive power extracted from voltage, current, and temperature profiles are used as model inputs. The generalizability and robustness of the proposed ridge regression–based linear regularization model are assessed using three NASA datasets containing information on the behavior of batteries over a wide range of temperatures and discharge rates.

Postdoctoral Associate- Nanoscale Mechanics

Submitted by Yasin Dhaher on

We are searching for a Postdoctoral Associate in collagen and single-molecule biophysics in the laboratory of Drs. Dhaher and Lin. We seek an enthusiastic and talented postdoc to develop and apply state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) to elucidate the dynamics and energetics of single biomolecules and their interactions with collagen.

SES 2023 Symposium 9-3 - Morphing Matter: Bioinspiration, Computational Design, Fabrication, Mechanics, and Sustainability

Submitted by Teng zhang on

Morphing matter includes biological and engineering materials and structures with dynamic and tunable properties such as shape, color, stiffness, texture, and density. Examples include pinecones that open when dried and close when wet, octopus that camouflages by changing body shapes, textures and colors, food that changes shapes during cooking, and smart windows that dynamically tune color and surface roughness.
