Kelvin Ye

Materials Engineer at QuantumScape

Kelvin Ye has a diverse work experience in the field of materials engineering and research. Kelvin is currently working as a Materials Engineer at QuantumScape since April 2022. Prior to this, they worked as an Associate Research Engineer at A123 Systems from July 2021 to March 2022. Kelvin also served as a Project Researcher at ams AG from September 2020 to May 2021.

Kelvin has been involved in academic research as well. Kelvin worked as an Affiliate researcher at LBNL Ceder Group in Berkeley Lab from September 2018 to January 2020. Additionally, they gained research experience as a Research Assistant at UC Berkeley College of Engineering Marvell NanoLab in June-August 2019. Kelvin also interned as a Student Intern at Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics (SINANO), Chinese Academy of Sciences in July-August 2018.

Kelvin has also been an active participant in student organizations and projects. Kelvin was a Structure Team Member in Berkeley Hyperloop from February to August 2018 and an Experimental Battery Team Member in Berkeley ChemE Car Club from October 2016 to May 2017.

Early in their academic career, Kelvin worked as a Student Researcher at Jisan Research Institute, where they focused on an entrochemical system and built a water heater based on the system. Kelvin presented a paper on this project at IGEC 2016 in Alaska. Prior to this, they were a Student Researcher in the Solar Army's SEAL Program by Caltech, which aimed to find a metal oxide material for converting sunlight into hydrogen fuel.

Kelvin's work experience showcases their expertise in materials engineering, research skills, and active involvement in various projects and organizations.

Kelvin Ye completed their Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Materials Engineering from Cornell University from 2020 to 2021. Prior to that, they attended UC Berkeley College of Engineering from 2016 to 2020, where they studied Energy Engineering. Before their college education, Kelvin attended Maranatha High School from 2012 to 2016, although no specific degree or field of study is mentioned for this period.

In addition to their formal education, Kelvin has obtained several certifications in various subjects. Kelvin completed a Machine Learning course from Coursera in March 2021. In January 2021, they pursued certifications in Battery State-of-Health (SOH) Estimation, Algorithms for Battery Management Systems Specialization, Battery Pack Balancing and Power Estimation, and Battery State-of-Charge (SOC) Estimation, all from Coursera. Kelvin also obtained a Six Sigma Black Belt Certification from Cornell University in January 2021. Prior to these certifications, in December 2020, Kelvin completed courses in Equivalent Circuit Cell Model Simulation and Introduction to battery-management systems, again from Coursera.
