Changfu Zou
Changfu Zou is an Associate Professor in the Automatic Control research unit. His research focuses on modeling and automatic control of energy storage systems, particularly lithium-ion batteries. Many of his works are in collaboration with industry partners, such as Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks, Polestar, Scania, and CEVT AB. As the project PI, he has received funding from the Swedish Research Council (incl. Starting Grant and Project Grant), European Commission (e.g., for projects BatCon, MoreSafe, SmartHEM, ULICBat, TEAMING), Swedish Energy Agency, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (WASP program), Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, Swedish Electromobility Center, etc. Specifically, he has supervised and managed five Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual/Postdoctoral Fellowships, which are among Europe's most competitive and prestigious research and innovation fellowships. Dr Zou has joined Chalmers since 2017, initially as a Postdoc and then became an Assistant Professor. He obtained his PhD degree in Automation and Control Engineering from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He was a visiting researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, from 2015 to 2016.
Dr Zou has been appointed as a review expert for research grants by the European Commission (e.g., for Horizon Europe CL5), US National Science Foundation, Academy of Finland, Cariplo Foundation in Italy, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and so on. He currently serves as an associate editor/editorial board member for journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, and Cell Press journal iScience. He is a recipient of awards, such as the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Best Vehicular Electronics Paper Award, IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification Prize Paper Award, IEEE VTS Climate Challenge Award, and Nordic Energy Challenge Award.
