Dr. Ian Campbell – Breathe Battery Technologies

Links & Episode Notes

What’s it all about?

Batteries. More specifically, software enabled batteries helping to make Electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and wearables, more efficient, providing better customer experiences. I speak to another start-up spun out of Imperial College London, with a novel and proven set of products and technologies moving forward the transition towards better, longer lasting and faster charging vehicles and devices. A great spin-out journey. I hope you enjoy the episode.

About Dr. Ian Campbell:

Ian is passionate about mathematics, computing and batteries. He cares about climate protection and dreams of a world with clean air. He’s excited by a future with electric cars, boats and aircraft but frustrated by the barriers imposed by current battery technologies. In response, he began researching lithium-ion batteries at Imperial College London in 2015. In 2019 he graduated with a PhD in the topic and experience consulting to a range of industries. Today, he merges his passions at Breathe, where he and his team are working to overcome those barriers.

Outside of work, he enjoys competing in motorsport and triathlons. Since 2019 he prepares, runs and drives a Formula Ford in events such as the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone.

PhD in lithium-ion battery engineering

Consulted on vehicle electrification to a range of industries

Produced battery modelling codes used around the world

Published in leading electrochemistry journals on optimal cell design using physics-based battery models and cell-health evaluation using real-time capable methods

About Breath Battery Technologies: 

Breathe Battery Technologies (“Breathe”) is more than a battery performance company. Since being spun out of Imperial College in 2019, Breathe’s focus has been on building battery technology to contribute to a faster, better and more sustainable electrification of the world.

Today, it provides physics-based battery management software that helps the world’s most iconic electric vehicle and consumer electronics brands do more with the power they have. Because an electrified future requires superior customer experiences.

The company’s embedded software products, Breathe Charge and Breathe Life, use adaptive charging to dynamically adjust the charging current across both the state of charge and state health windows, indicating the ideal current at every moment. Its products extract more performance from existing batteries to deliver faster charging, greater cycle life and zero compromise on safety.

Breathe Battery Technologies’ dream is that one day everyone will breathe clean air. That’s why it makes batteries better.
