Ferran's research interests are in the broad area of industrial and applied mathematics, with a particular interest in modelling of physical processes for sustainable development applications. Ferran combines analytical techniques and numerical techniques to develop and study mathematical models, and uses them to provide insight on real-life systems. Ferran's motivation is to use these models as a tool to provide insight on real-life systems. From a mathematical point of view, Ferran is interested in heat and mass transfer, continuum mechanics, moving boundary problems, and dynamical systems.

Ferran is also a strong supporter of open science and has been a core developer of PyBaMM for 5 years.

Monica is interested in understanding how physical and chemical processes impact the behaviour of energy storage devices in applications. This involves identifying the mechanisms that limit behaviour under real conditions, which she does by building electrochemical and physical models. Monica uses experimentally observed behaviour to parametrise and validate these models, and use them further to explore ways in which their performance can be improved. Monica also synthesises this knowledge into reduced order models, which can be used for control algorithms in a given application. Monica is working on lithium ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries, supercapacitors and Li-ion capacitors.

Dr. Jacqueline Edge is the Multiscale Modelling Project Leader at Imperial College London, working with Prof. Gregory Offer to ensure that the research is coherent and that the project delivers all promised outputs. She also leads the modelling work on sustainability and techno-economics of lithium-ion batteries.

Dr Saira Naeem ( Project Network Coordinator ) is developing and implementing communication strategy for the multiscale modelling project, which includes social media management. She also manages meeting organisations and the day-to-day running of the project.

Rob is Co-Founder at Ionworks and has been a core developer of PyBaMM since 2018. Before founding Ionworks, Rob was a postdoc at the University of Oxford working on the Faraday Institution's Multi-Scale Modelling project.
