Development of manufacturing methods for scale up of novel structural battery architectures.
Current structural batteries research, as part of ongoing AAPS/GKN PhD projects, has identified that current state of the art carbon fibre structural battery architectures need to be revised as using a layered approach places too much physical distance between anode and cathode which slows ion transfer and reduces battery performance.

Electric Motor Torque Estimation
Knowing the torque produced by an electric motor is essential in a wide range of applications. In electric vehicles it is important to deliver the torque requested by the driver, and it becomes very important for good drivability when blending regenerative braking torque with the hydraulic brakes.
