== Biography ==
Dr. Simon Clark is a Senior Research Scientist working on digitalization of batteries at {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWc6aa8b354453443aad6679c194a506f7|url=|label=SINTEF}} in Trondheim, Norway. He earned his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWf1fcf1be81cc4a6eb653a90fed1d7a60|url=|label=Georgia Tech}} in 2009, before working as a design simulation engineer in the German spaceflight industry from 2010-2013. He earned his Dr. rer. nat. degree in Computational Electrochemistry from Ulm University, working in partnership with the {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSW5532738929f343158a49b02c06b1fa69|url=|label=German Aerospace Center (DLR)}}, {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSW9ecad32b44a14954b908476c116fc3da|url=|label=Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW)}}, and Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU). He has been working at SINTEF since 2018, where he has a leading role in EU-funded research projects like {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSW6499d04ced9649f8bbc50f1e940a50c8|url=|label=Battery2030+}}, {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWa447d5f341294108879be0aac68cb1a4|url=|label=BIG-MAP}}, {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWd364682b4d274585b8ab6fb6d237d890|url=|label=DigiBatt}}, {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWb4132e89309a4a16a1c292598ae9ef29|url=|label=IntelLiGent}}, {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSWbdaefbf2beb045c3912dcf136a804834|url=|label=HYDRA}}, and more. His current activities focus on bringing battery data into the Semantic Web and enabling fast physics-based design simulations. He is a core developer of the Battery Interface Ontology (BattINFO) and the {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Item:OSW09ea8864ce8f4d559b6fa60300faa976|url=|label=Battery Modelling Toolbox (BattMo)}}
