Bio:

 

Mark Verbrugge started his GM career in 1986 after receiving his doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the College of Chemistry at the University of California (Berkeley). In 1996, Mark was awarded a Sloan Fellowship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received an MBA. Mark returned from MIT in 1997 to join GM’s Advanced Technology Vehicles (ATV) as Chief Engineer for Energy Management Systems. In 2002, Mark rejoined the GM Research as Director of the Materials and Processes Lab, which maintains global research programs ranging from chemistry, physics, and materials science to the development of structural subsystems and energy storage devices.

Mark is a Board Member of the United States Automotive Materials Partnership LLC and the United States Advanced Battery Consortium LLC, and an adjunct professor for the Department of Physics, University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Mark’s research efforts resulted in his receiving the Norman Hackerman Young Author Award and the Energy Technology Award from the Electrochemical Society as well as GM internal awards including the John M. Campbell Award for research accomplishments, twice the Charles L. McCuen Award for inventions substantially influencing GM products, and the Boss Kettering Award, the highest technical award given by GM. Mark received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the United States Council for Automotive Research, is a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society, and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Abstract:

We begin with a brief overview of electric-vehicle product plans by General Motors, ranging from compact to full-size SUVs, luxury vehicles, trucks, and fleet delivery vehicles.  We then turn to enabling research for the characterization and design of lithium ion and lithium metal cells.  Specifically, we have recently developed and implemented a multi-site, multi-reaction model.  We shall demonstrate the approach with various chemistries of interest today, and the creation of reduced order models to simply calculations.
