About Us
About:Energy was founded to accelerate the transition to electrification. We provide battery data for better decision-making across the value chain, from mine to end-of-life, helping companies reduce costs and timelines to bring innovations to market. About:Energy is a deep-tech company that maximises impact on the battery industry through our end-to-end software platform, The Voltt. Leveraging upon A:E’s core parameterisation and modelling IP, The Voltt enhances design decisions around battery technologies, including materials, cells, systems, and operational use.
The Role
Are you studying for a STEM degree? Wondering what career to pursue? Interested in finding out more about the battery sector? Keen to spend time with a dynamic community of pioneering battery researchers seeking to find solutions to support a fully electric future? The Faraday Institution is offering 55 internships for undergraduate students to spend 8 weeks working on battery-related projects.
During the FUSE internship, you will be able to attend Faraday Institution cohort events which will focus on various topics to develop further your understanding of career opportunities in the battery sector. At the end of the programme, you will be invited to share a poster about your work, and prizes will be awarded.
Topic: Better battery model quality by estimating experimental error (supervised by Edmund Dickinson)
Project Details
At About:Energy, we test and tear down Li-ion cells to develop battery models for industry, aiding engineers who use batteries in the products they design. When delivering parameters and models to customers, the expression of our confidence in our measured data is critical to our scientific credibility. This project will enhance our model quality by developing mathematical ‘uncertainty budgets’, estimating experimental error contributions in our measurements on lithium-ion batteries and their materials.
This project is desk-based, not lab-based (but has an experimental topic), and will require a mathematically competent student. Some familiarity with mathematical software or programming would be beneficial but is non-essential. Full training will be provided. The internship will be conducted onsite at About:Energy’s offices and labs (Camden and/or South Kensington, London).
