Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Hooke is a Senior Battery Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience developing and testing aqueous, nonflammable energy storage systems across startups and scale-up labs. Currently at Form Energy, he combines test engineering, lifetime analysis, and electrochemical modelling to translate lab data into cost-performance insights and pilot-ready processes. He helped establish QC and battery-testing infrastructure at BenAn in Shanghai and led materials-to-pilot work at Aquion, bringing practical pilot-operations experience alongside scripting and automation for non-programmer teammates. His MS in Chemical Engineering with data science training at UW underpins a pragmatic skillset spanning Python, MATLAB, impedance-based cell modelling, and widgetized Jupyter tools that bridge R&D and operations. Known for preferring projects driven by passionate owners, he focuses on enabling others through clear data products and scalable testing workflows. Less obvious: he routinely integrates equivalent-circuit and 2D models into cost models to surface trade-offs that inform both lab experiments and early commercial decisions.
