In the energy storage and automotive sectors, the demand for fast-charging and higher-capacity batteries is rapidly increasing, while their lifespans are decreasing. GTU Mechanical Engineering Faculty Member Assoc. Prof. Gamze Gediz-İliş and Research Assistant Yiğitalp Gökmen, who specialize in battery cooling, are developing both hardware and software solutions to address this issue. Their innovative liquid cooling design and AI-based cooling control enable long-lasting and cost-effective energy storage. With their “Smart Battery Packs,” they are working on innovative, self-learning, low-cost, and energy-efficient healthy battery packs.
