System-level Validation & Application Demonstration
Building a validation platform spanning device characterisation, module packaging and system reliability — working with industry partners on real-world demonstrations and standards.
The challenge
There is a significant gap between laboratory conditions and real-world operation. Without system-level validation, advanced devices struggle to earn industry trust or inform standards.
Research focus
01
Device and module test methods
Repeatable, comparable test flows and benchmarks.
02
Accelerated lifetime and failure analysis
Power cycling, thermal cycling and fault localisation.
03
Demonstration systems
Data centre power, on-board charging and storage conversion demos.
04
Standards and technology transfer
Developing specifications with industry partners to move results into use.
Expected outcomes
- An open test and validation platform
- Demonstration systems in three application domains
- Joint labs and technology transfer cases
