ABOUT
Ruihuan Ge received his Ph.D. in 2018 with a topic of creating tuneable agglomerates via 3D printing from Monash University, Australia. Prior to joining the University of Sheffield, he was a research associate at University of Birmingham and University of Bath (2018–2020).
His research interests include but not limited to: particle dynamics, energy storage composites and additive manufacturing. He has published over 30 JCR-Q1 papers in renowned journals, e.g. AIChE Journal, Chemical Engineering Science, Chemical Engineering Journal, Energy, and Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing.
He joined the University of Sheffield as a Faraday Institution Research Fellow, working with Dr Rachel Smith and Dr Denis Cumming. His current research focuses on numerical modelling for next generation battery energy storage:
- Discrete Element Method (DEM) modelling for lithium battery electrode manufacturing process, e.g. calendering, mixing, powder spreading.
- Design of lithium battery electrode microstructures with optimized performance.
