Prof. Weihan Li (RWTH Aachen) joins us to unpack the reality of the “Data Value Gap” in battery development. With 110+ publications in battery modeling and AI, he brings both deep expertise and a clear sense of technical urgency.

Key topics we cover:

  • Standard physical models hit a ceiling where AI begins uncovering hidden patterns in massive datasets.
  • Time-to-market has become the only chemistry that matters for the European battery industry.
  • A significant mismatch remains between high-level management strategies and the reality for engineers in the "engine room."
  • Simply having the data is useless if you haven't done the hard work of harmonization.
