Overview Research Contact
Zhansheng Ning received a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechatronic Engineering from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, China, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. From 2018 to 2022, he was a battery management systems (BMS) software engineer at Gotion High-tech Company, Hefei, China. From 2019 to 2020, he was also a Research Associate at Gotion-NTU Smart Energy Labratory at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree with Power Electronics group, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. His research interests include the state estimation, modeling, and life prediction of Lithium-ion batteries.
Expertise Engineering Battery Capacity Estimation Models Feature Extraction Lithium Ion Battery Battery (Electrochemical Energy Engineering) Characteristics Earth and Planetary Sciences Organisations Since September 2022, Ning has been working as a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Twente on the 'Modelling and Testing for Enhanced Battery Lifetime' project. His research interests include state estimation, modeling, and life prediction of lithium-ion power batteries. For his doctoral thesis, Ning aims to develop an AI-based algorithm for early diagnostics and prognostics of batteries, using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, with the goal of extending battery life.
