Biography:

Sangwook Kim is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Energy Storage & Advanced Vehicles department at Idaho National Laboratory. Rojan earned his doctorate in electrical engineering from University of North Carolina Charlotte and holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Pulchowk Campus, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. During his Ph.D. program, he was awarded a 2018 INL graduate fellowship. His research interest includes mechanical stresses and battery degradation in Li-ion/Li metal batteries. At INL, he involves in machine learning project and XCEL (eXtreme Fast Charge Cell Evaluation) to identify the battery aging modes under fast-charging conditions. In his free time, Sangwook enjoys outdoor activities, such as biking, hiking, and camping in beautiful Idaho nature.
