“During my Bachelor in Electronic Engineering at King’s College London, I had the pleasure to work with Dr. Atsushi Mizusawa in the AC Biode laboratory in Kyoto. The learning and inspiration encouraged me to pursue my career in EV battery systems. They have high standards, but if you meet them, they offer the ideal environment to grow.”
