Bill Yen
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioBill Yen is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University working in the area of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) systems. He is an interdisciplinary maker and environmental scientist passionate about solving issues related to food, water, and energy using smart technologies.
Yen's experience in industry (General Motors, CNH Industrial) and academic research (Northwestern - soil-powered computing, Stanford - low-power wireless communication) cultivated his interest in designing self-powered computing devices that boost system efficiency while lowering the environmental impact of existing processes. His work has been recognized by the Ovid W. Eshbach Award from Northwestern University, and he is also a recipient of the Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Science & Engineering. -
Maha Yusuf
Ph.D. Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2015
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLong charging times of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a major bottleneck in the widespread deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). There is a global push to enable extreme fast charging (XFC) of EV batteries to reduce their charging times to 10-15 minutes. But existing LIBs cannot achieve this goal without significantly reducing battery performance. This is mainly attributed to a phenomenon, known as “Li plating,” as the battery is charged fast. In this thesis, I use neutron and X-ray-based imaging to visualize the battery electrode to investigate Li plating at elevated charging rates.
