Dr. Jiangong Zhu is an Associate Professor in the School of Automotive Studies at Tongji University, China.

He received the Ph.D. degree in automotive engineering at Tongji University.

He was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Institute for Applied Materials at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany and is a “Humboldtians” Fellow from the support of Humboldt Foundation.

He is also a DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) fellow.

His research interests include electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, battery lifetime and safety management, state estimation, and battery modeling.

His current research focus is on applying the ex-situ (post-mortem analysis) and in-situ methods (e.g., impedance, neutron powder diffraction) to investigate the battery degradation, and inventing new science methods (e.g., machine learning and optimization) to prognose the battery state of health and manage the battery lifespan.

His research has been sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China and awarded “Shanghai Overseas High-Level Talent Recruitment Program” in 2021.
