The Chemical and Biological Engineering Department is pleased to present a seminar by Yelena Gorlin from Bosch Research as part of our ChBE Seminar Series.

Yelena Gorlin will present a seminar titled "Energy Technologies Research at Bosch North America: Putting Low Carbon Options on the Global Energy Menu."

ABSTRACT: Bosch's Research and Technology Center in North America is home to research in diverse areas, including Intelligent, Connected Sensors and Systems, Energy Technologies, Systems and Materials, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, as well as Secure and Intelligent IoT. Under a motto of "Putting Low Carb(on) Options on the Global Energy Menu," the Department of Energy Technologies, Systems and Materials is pursuing exciting research topics focusing on performance and aging models of electrochemical devices, advanced characterization methods, material discovery and predictive diagnostics. In this presentation, our past work on next generation battery management systems (BMS) will be discussed and research efforts to improve the quality of electrochemical parameters inside the BMS will be presented.

Yelena Gorlin, Ph.D, is a Lead Engineer in Energy Technologies, Systems and Materials Department of Robert Bosch's Research and Technology Center located in Sunnyvale, California. Her research training includes completing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, developing manganese oxide electrocatalysts, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Technical University of Munich, applying synchrotron characterization to operating batteries and fuel cells. As a Bosch Associate, she has contributed to projects targeting electrification and decarbonization, including work on advanced battery management systems, next generation fuel cells, and sustainability solutions. She is a co-author of 25 peer-reviewed publications, 8 patents, and a winner of multiple awards, including Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship and Electrochemical Society Postdoctoral Research Award.

Bagels and coffee will be provided at 9:30am, and the seminar will start at 9:40am. Please plan to arrive on time to grab a bagel and mingle!

*Please note that there will be no Zoom option for seminars this year.
