Teaching

Masters programme course for Cell and Systems Modeling (2025/2026)

  • Course Overview: This course provides advanced knowledge in battery cell chemistry, system design, and simulation methodologies specifically utilizing COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB Simulink, and Simscape. Students will develop practical expertise in computational techniques for battery performance prediction, system integration, thermal management, battery management systems, and physics informed ML/AI methods using Python.
  • The course is organized by UU-Chemistry (Daniel Brandell), Shruti Srivastav (Traton) as course responsible, and Wendy Guo contributing (UU-chem) contributing as lecturer. The course is a good example of cross-project cooperation and dissemination.
