Autonomous Battery Optimization by Deploying Distributed Experiments and Simulations

Giovanni Pizzi, Francisco Fernando Ramirez

Non-trivial relationships link individual materials properties to device-level performance. Device optimization therefore calls for new automation approaches beyond the laboratory bench with tight integration of different research methods. This study demon ...

A bridge between trust and control: computational workflows meet automated battery cycling

Nicola Marzari, Corsin Battaglia, Giovanni Pizzi, Sebastiaan Philippe Huber, Loris Ercole, Francisco Fernando Ramirez

Compliance with good research data management practices means trust in the integrity of the data, and it is achievable by full control of the data gathering process. In this work, we demonstrate tooling which bridges these two aspects, and illustrate its u ...
