Dr. Hariharan's research focuses on mathematical modeling of lithium batteries for industrial applications. During his research career, he has had the opportunity to develop electrochemical, impedance spectroscopy as well as equivalent circuit models for lithium batteries. In addition, Dr. Hariharan was also involved in developing battery state estimator algorithms and thermal analysis of cells as well as battery packs. During his tenure with General Motors R&D, he collaborated with algorithm engineers responsible for implementing on-board state estimators for electric vehicle (EV) programs. His research experience with various approaches in battery modeling would enable a successful monograph on state of the art in this emerging area.
