A consortium including Aurobay, Resolvent, DTU, Vinnova, Innovation Fund Denmark and Volvo Group Trucks Operations completed the LaserBATMAN project, which ran from May 2022 to May 2025. The project used multiscale simulation to study how laser welding affects battery pack robustness and lifetime, and Resolvent built a custom simulation app that lets Volvo's R&D team test battery lifetime performance.
A webinar featuring Dr. Pavel Terekhov, a postdoctoral researcher at NIST, will explain how combining finite element simulation with multipole decomposition in COMSOL Multiphysics can predict and explain optical resonances in dielectric metasurfaces. The talk will cover a crystalline silicon metasurface built from quadrumer meta-atoms that shows enhanced absorption from two coexisting multipole mechanisms, as well as ongoing work on a gallium nitride metasurface using four interacting multipoles to control reflection, transmission, and quasi-bound-states-in-the-continuum behavior.
