Biography
Gengyue is a PhD student in Engineering Science Department. His research is about building better batteries. You know how electric cars like Teslas need to be charged quite often? That's because today's batteries can only store so much energy. Gengyue works on a new type called solid-state batteries. Instead of liquid inside, they use solid materials, which means they can store more energy and are safer too. In simple terms, his research is to use maths and computer code to help design batteries that could one day let your electric car drive twice as far on a single charge.

Current Research Projects
Gengyue and his group members apply Newman-Tobias porous-electrode theory to model electrochemical systems and analyse GITT (Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique) data to characterise diffusion coefficients and kinetic parameters for designing better solid state batteries.
