Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrady Planden is a founding engineer and multidisciplinary researcher with six years of experience bridging mechanical, electrical, and software engineering to deliver real-time capable battery models and energy storage systems. He transitioned from postdoctoral research at Oxford—where he built the PyBOP package, JAX-based probabilistic inference for electrochemical time-series, and a departmental tutoring role—into founding Ionworks to commercialize next-generation battery modelling. Brady has a strong open-source track record (LiiBRA.jl, LiiBRA-derived tools, BattPhase.jl) and practical lab and data-platform experience from creating a High Voltage & Energy Storage Lab and the Galv data management platform. He pairs deep academic rigor (PhD in Mechanical Engineering) with hands-on control and testing experience from AVL, making him adept at taking complex electrochemical models into deployable, real-time systems. Notably, he focuses on probabilistic, performance-oriented modelling that runs across diverse hardware—an unusual blend of theory, software engineering, and experimental validation.
