Background

About Bart Homan

Bart Homan received his BSc degree in Chemical Engineering & Biochemical Engineering (2010) and his MSc degree in Molecular Engineering (2012) from the Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. After receiving his MSc degree he went on to work at Dr Ten B.V. in research and development of various products, most notably the Seasalt battery. In 2014 he expanded his research beyond the chemical aspect of batteries, and started working towards a PhD degree in the Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems (CAES) group at the University of Twente. Bart received his PhD degree from the University of Twente on October 4th 2020. His PhD research focussed on the integration of batteries in (smart)microgrids, but also includes the chemical and practical aspects of battery design. His research was done in the Energy Group, a multidisciplinary team consisting of members of the CAES and Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Programming (DMMP) groups and in close collaboration with Dr Ten B.V. Currently, Bart is working at the Energy Group at the University of Twente, as a postdoc researcher. His work focusses on the control and integration of energy storage devices. Most notably on the Quinteq flywheel, currently under development at Quinteq B.V.
