Øystein Gullbrekken
About
I am postdoctor in the ALCBATT project at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. I study potential electrolytes for Al-C batteries by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Specifically, I work on understanding which new electrolytes can work in such batteries and how the transport in these occurs. I also investigate how machine learning can be used to develop interatomic potentials for MD simulations.
