Greg is part of the large interdisciplinary and multi-departmental Electrochemical Science and Engineering group at Imperial College London. He is based in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and his research is based around battery, fuel cell and supercapacitor technology, and their application, mostly in transport. From the fundamental science to integration and systems engineering. The problems he investigates tend to emerge at the interface between the science and engineering. Greg has worked with multiple industry partners, and successfully delivered multiple Innovate UK and industry projects. Greg is the Principle Investigator of the Faraday Institution funded Multi-Scale Modelling project, which helped create the PyBaMM and DandeLiion modelling environments. Much of the groups work on physics based modelling of lithium ion batteries is...
