Today is?National Semiconductor Day! These tiny chips power the tech that drives our world! At ARI (Applied Research Institute) and Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Hub we’re proud to be part of this innovative industry shaping the future.

I'm organizing the first meeting of the Military Power Sources Consortium battery maintenance committee next week Wednesday 10/30 1pm ET. If a battery failure on your watch endangers the mission and lives of US service members, then you probably stand to benefit from joining us.

I'm excited to share that I recently completed a specialized 3-day Energy Storage System training session at the Battery Innovation Center (BIC)! This training was an incredibly valuable experience, offering deep insights into key areas of Energy Storage and Lithium Battery technology, including: 1. Lithium battery cell fabrication & testing ?? 2. Grid storage systems and standards ?? 3. Battery management systems (BMS) and emerging technologies ? 4. BMS testing protocols and certification standards ?? The hands-on sessions were especially impactful, providing practical experience in: 1. Coin cell fabrication and Battery module creation , gaining a deeper understanding of battery chemistry ?? 2. Observing pouch cell assembly lines, and learning about the complexities of large-scale battery production ?? Additionally, I had the opportunity to witness cell chemistry development, including half-cell experiments, while also exploring some of the newest advancements in battery technologies. I’m excited to bring these insights back to Cummins Inc., as we continue working towards the future of sustainable energy and battery innovation. #BatteryInnovation #EnergyStorage #LithiumBatteries #TechInnovation #SustainableEnergy #Cummins #ProfessionalDevelopment #BIC

Today, on Veterans Day, we at BIC express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have selflessly served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifices secure the freedoms we cherish. Just as BIC champions innovation in creating products that touch people's lives every day, our veterans embody the spirit of innovation through their unwavering commitment to defending our nation. Your service is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the relentless pursuit of a better future. On this Veterans Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the invaluable contributions of our veterans and their families. Your sacrifices have shaped our history and continue to inspire us all. #VeteransDay #HonoringOurHeroes #Innovation #Courage #Sacrifice #BIC

?? Exciting Milestone Alert! ?? I'm thrilled to share that I've recently completed a certification in Energy Storage provided by The Battery Innovation Center and earned a certificate from Purdue University. Coming from a mechanical engineering background, this journey into the Battery systems field has been both challenging and rewarding. A huge thank you to my manager Curtis Long for the support and encouragement along the way – your guidance has been invaluable! I'm excited to keep expanding my knowledge and contribute to the future of sustainable energy. #EnergyStorage #BatterySystems #ContinuousLearning #MechanicalEngineering #SustainableEnergy #cumminsengineer #womeninengineering

Happy National STEM/STEAM Day! Today, we’re celebrating the brilliant minds shaping the future of clean energy and electric vehicles. At the Battery Workforce Challenge, we’re building a diverse talent pipeline for the EV and battery industry through hands-on learning and real-world engineering challenges. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Stellantis, and managed by Argonne National Laboratory, we’re equipping students, vocational workers, and aspiring engineers with the skills to drive the industry forward and help achieve a net-zero future. ???? Tag a student, educator, or mentor who's making a difference in the world of STEM/STEAM, and let’s inspire the innovators of tomorrow! #STEMCareers #CleanEnergy #WorkforceDevelopment

Congratulations to the Ateios Systems team for securing another contract to advance our cutting-edge electrode manufacturing technology! In 2017, HDIAC (Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center) invited me to write about the pressing energy challenges our military faces. With advanced electronics proliferating on the battlefield (drones, thermal vision, weaons), the power demands for an average Army platoon have surged 15x since 2001—equivalent to the daily consumption of an American household. Read more about the critical energy needs in my article from 2017:?https://lnkd.in/gpuby59f It’s an honor to lead a team dedicated to meeting this challenge head-on. Moving our operations to The Battery Innovation Center reflects our commitment to advancing battery technology on a budget, with a strong focus on production speed, yield, cost-effectiveness, and a resilient supply chain. #DefenseTech #BatteryInnovation #EnergyResilience #AteiosSystems #MilitaryEnergy #CleanEnergy #SupplyChain"
