Jingyi Chen, PhD profile page

Dr Jingyi Chen is Chief Solutions Architect at Breathe Battery Technologies, where she leads the development of physics-based, software-defined approaches to improve battery charging performance, safety and longevity. Her work focuses on model-based control and internal-state estimation—going beyond surface measurements such as voltage and temperature to understand what is happening inside the cell, reduce degradation and enable faster charging without compromising battery health. As a technical expert, Jingyi has played a pivotal role to high-profile industry collaborations across consumer electronics and automotive, including Breathe's production programmes with OPPO, Volvo and Bang & Olufsen. At Breathe, she overseas technical initiatives that translate electrochemical insights into practical battery management strategies, using model-based methods to maximise battery performance. She holds a PhD in electrode design and modelling from Imperial College London and regularly contributes to the broader battery conversations, sharing her perspectives on battery innovation through platforms such as Energy Futures Lab podcast.
