Research summary
AI-generated

Hanwei Zhou's research focuses on the safety and degradation of lithium-ion batteries, including how fast charging, overcharging, and abnormal operating conditions affect battery aging and the risk of thermal runaway (dangerous overheating events). The work combines experiments, imaging, and modeling to understand what happens inside battery cells and materials as they degrade or fail, aiming to inform safer battery design. Earlier work in the publication record also includes structural engineering topics such as the strength of ship and tube structures, suggesting a shift in research focus over time.
