Research Subject
This course conducts research on battery management, reuse, and rapid diagnostics of traction batteries used in BEVs, hybrid vehicles, and other applications.
It aims to address industrial and societal challenges by ensuring safety and long service life under various operating and temperature conditions, while improving performance and considering economic efficiency and life-cycle CO₂ reduction.
Furthermore, research is also conducted on the use of BEVs beyond transportation, contributing not only to user benefits but also to the safety and resilience of local communities.
