Title
Analyzing and minimizing capacity fade through model predictive control - theory and experimental validation.
Bio: Venkat R. Subramanian received the B.Tech. degree in chemical and electrochemical engineering from the Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI) Karaikudi India in 1997 and the Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from the University of South Carolina Columbia SC USA in 2001. He is currently a Washington Research Foundation Innovation Professor of Clean Energy & Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington Seattle. He holds joint appointment at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as Chief Scientist as well. His research interests include: energy systems engineering electrochemical engineering computationally efficient algorithms for state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimation of lithium-ion batteries multiscale simulation and design of energetic materials kinetic Monte Carlo methods model-based battery management system for electric transportation and renewable microgrids and nonlinear model predictive control. Dr. Subramanian was awarded the Dean's award for excellence in graduate study in 2001 for his doctoral research. He is currently the chair of the IEEE Division of the Electrochemical Society and a technical editor for the Electrochemical Society journal. His codes for Lithium-ion batteries are the fastest reported in the literature and his algorithm for solving index 1 nonlinear DAEs is the most robust compared to any other algorithm reported as of today.
