What attracted you to the RACE Industry PhD?
My PhD research project aims to address a vital emerging problem in the automotive industry related to the widespread adoption of bidirectional EV chargers in Australia. The alignment of my research goals with RACE objectives makes the RACE Industry PhD program particularly attractive to me as it presents an invaluable opportunity to tackle urgent climate change issues and enhance environmental sustainability.
What are you most looking forward to?
I am most looking forward to the opportunity to address critical challenges in the automotive and energy sectors through my research on bidirectional EV chargers while collaborating with the RACE Industry PhD program.
What innovation/change would you like to see in 5-10 years’ time?
In the next 5-10 years, I would like to see widespread adoption of bidirectional EV chargers integrated into the power grid. This innovation would allow EVs to draw and feedback energy, enhancing grid stability and promoting renewable energy sources, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem.
