What’s your teaching philosophy?
A lot of the attendees at the classes are not book learners. So, I try to bring context into all the classes by using real battery data and my own practical experiences to demonstrate the theory working in practice.
What advantage do your students have over others who don’t attend your courses?
They know a lot more about the practical aspects of battery management than most people do. As a result, they are in a position to manage any failures when they occur, as they most certainly will.
