KULR Technology Group Appoints Dr. William Walker as Director of Engineering
March 10 2022 - 8:00AM
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a leading developer of next-generation
lithium-ion battery safety and thermal management technologies, has
appointed Dr. William Walker as its new Director of Engineering. In
his new role, Dr. Walker will work with the Company's engineering
team on its next generation high-performance computing (“HPC”) and
hypersonic vehicle thermal management initiatives.
Prior to KULR, Dr. Walker was employed by NASA Johnson Space
Center where his career primarily focused on the design and
optimization of safe lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery assemblies for
human spaceflight applications. More specifically, he focused on
the thermal management of Li-ion battery assemblies, battery safety
in general, and the development of new calorimetric techniques for
thermal runaway characterization. Dr. Walker is also a co-inventor
of NASA’s recently patented Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry
techniques which provide the capability to discern the fraction of
thermal runaway energy ejected away from the Li-ion cell versus
that which remains with the cell.
Dr. William Q. Walker received his B.S. in Mechanical
Engineering from West Texas A&M University and Ph.D. in
Materials Science and Engineering from the University of
Houston.
"Dr. Walker brings significant Li-ion battery and thermal
management expertise to our team and is a great fit to lead KULR’s
test engineering division into its next phase of growth," said
Michael Carpenter, VP of Engineering at KULR Technology Group.
"With his vast experience at NASA Johnson Space Center developing
the Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimeter ("FTRC"), William will
help us better understand the behavior of lithium-ion batteries so
we can improve cell design in verticals such as high-performance
computing and hypersonic vehicles. He will spearhead the continued
development of KULR's battery safety platform and suite of battery
testing services -- particularly the FTRC."
Dr. Walker added: “KULR’s industry leading expertise in
high-performance thermal management solutions and understanding of
battery safety are two organizational and fundamental
characteristics that quickly drew my attention. The development
potential of the KULR technology portfolio is exciting and the
potential impact across the industry is huge. The Company has
delivered excellent results across their solutions and product
lines while scaling safe battery system development in a
sustainable way. I look forward to a mutually supportive
partnership with VP of Engineering Michael Carpenter and his
team.”
