Greg Davies
Greg is a graduate student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. His research explores low cost batteries for grid-scale energy storage. Cost is a significant factor limiting deployment of current battery technologies at scale. This limitation can be reduced by considering battery architectures that use low cost battery materials and reduce the requirement for large amounts of packaging, which add wasted weight, volume and cost. Specifically, his research focusses on several novel flow-battery designs which work towards these goals. He is also interested in the expansion of low-carbon power generation in the electric grid, and policies which can be applied to significantly increase the penetration of renewable energy sources.
