Modeling and Simulations of Thermal Runaway in Li-ion Cells, with Dr. Jason Ostanek

Dr. Jason Ostanek, an assistant professor at Purdue University, highlights the role of modeling and simulation in the safety of lithium-ion batteries. He summarizes challenges associated with developing a comprehensive thermal runaway model and possible ways to overcome these challenges. Also, he sheds light on multiple strategies to accelerate battery failure modeling and simulation and shares his perspective on scaling these models to larger systems.
