PULSELiON is proud to congratulate Prof. Dr. Tomaž Katrašnik with receiving the Zois Award for top achievements. The Zois Awards are the highest recognitions of the Republic of Slovenia in the field of scientific research and development.
The Zois Award for top achievements in the field of scientific research was received by our project colleague Prof. Dr. Tomaž Katrašnik. Prof. Dr. Katrašnik has received this awards for the work of his group at the University of Ljubljana – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, on progressing innovative computer models and diagnostic methods for electromobility. These models make it possible to discover new phenomena and understand processes in battery materials, as well as to predict their internal states in relation to the impact on the health and safety of batteries.
These models are co-developed in the framework of Horizon Europe project PULSELiON amongst other projects. The model library allows for faster and cheaper development of batteries and fuel cells. The transfer of his cutting-edge scientific findings to the world’s leading companies has a significant impact on the development of more efficient and safer electric vehicle drives. With his work in the field of electromobility, digitalization and virtual design of electrochemical devices, Katrašnik has achieved top scientific results that have far-reaching consequences for the sustainable development and future of electric vehicles.
The Zois Awards are the highest recognitions of the Republic of Slovenia in the field of scientific research and development. They are awarded to researchers whose work makes a significant contribution to the progress of science, technology and innovation in Slovenia. The awards emphasise the importance of top achievements that resonate globally and contribute to the development of the Slovenian economy and society as a whole.
Each year, a maximum of four Zois Awards are awarded for top achievements, with the recipients being those who have achieved outstanding results in the field of science through their work in the last seven years. This award highlights the important contribution of Slovenian researchers to the international scientific environment and at the same time serves as a motivation for young generations to follow in their footsteps.
The fact that his work in project PULSELiON has contributed to receiving this award, makes us extra proud in congratulating Prof. Dr. Tomaž Katrašnik and his group with this spectacular achievement. Our sincere congratiolations!
