About the speaker

Dr. Kristen Severson is a post-doctoral researcher at IBM Research in Cambridge, MA. Her interests are broadly in applied machine learning with a current focus on healthcare applications. Prior to joining IBM, Kristen earned her PhD at MIT where she worked on machine learning applied to problems in lithium-ion batteries, production oil wells, and bioinformatics. She also holds a BS from Carnegie Mellon University.

Webinar abstract

Accurately predicting the lifetime of complex, nonlinear systems such as lithium-ion batteries is critical for accelerating technology development. However, diverse aging mechanisms, significant device variability and dynamic operating conditions have remained major challenges. We generate a comprehensive dataset consisting of 124 commercial lithium iron phosphate/graphite cells cycled under fast-charging conditions, with widely varying cycle lives ranging from 150 to 2300 cycles. Using discharge voltage curves from early cycles yet to exhibit capacity degradation, we apply machine-learning tools to both predict and…
