Interdisciplinary research explores the power -and limitations- of lithium ion batteries
Mohammad Parhizi, a post-doctoral researcher with the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, has long been interested in heat transfer - a good fit for the work done in the college's Applied Thermofluids Laboratory and Fuel Laboratory of Renewable Energy. About a year ago, working with Jason Ostanek, assistant professor of engineering technology, and Gozdem Kilaz, associate professor of engineering technology, Parhizi began his current research, "The chemical and thermophysical characterization of electrolytes within lithium ion batteries".
