Doris Hung

Chih-Hsuan “Doris” Hung is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Multiscale Materials Group. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington. Her research centers on computational modeling of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries across scales. Doris employs physics-based electrochemical models to study how electrode designs and operating conditions influence the mass transport and redox reaction mechanisms within battery cells. Her previous work has focused on designing advanced lithium-ion battery electrode structures for fast charging in electric vehicles. She is currently investigating degradation mechanisms in sodium-ion batteries and how they scale with different cell interconnection strategies to impact the performance of megawatt-hour energy storage systems for grid applications.
