Biography
Early life and education
Dr. Clark was born 1987 in Columbus, GA USA. He studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology and earned his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2009. For his doctoral research, Clark worked with Prof. Dr. Arnulf Latz and Prof. Dr. Birger Horstmann at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) to develop a new continuum modelling framework for aqueous near-neutral zinc-air battery cells. He earned his Dr. rer. nat. degree summa cum laude from Ulm University in 2019.
Career
After graduating from Georgia Tech in 2009, Clark first worked as a design simulation engineer in the German spaceflight industry from 2010-2013. He contributed to the design of laser communication hardware on Earth observation satellites like Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2. He also designed the mirror hardware for one of the telescopes on Solar Orbiter.
In 2018, he joined SINTEF in Trondheim, Norway to work on battery digitalization topics. He has a leading role in EU-funded research projects like Battery2030+, BIG-MAP, DigiBatt, IntelLiGent, 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 Battery Modelling Toolbox (BattMo)

Dr. Clark has expertise across various electrochemical devices, with significant contributions to battery research. He has worked on lithium-ion, zinc-based, and post-lithium battery chemistries, developing models that predict performance, degradation, and efficiency losses. His research has linked electrode- and particle-level processes to full-cell behaviour, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of battery operation. His modelling efforts are closely integrated with experimental validation, where data-driven parameterization techniques ensure that simulation outputs accurately reflect real-world performance.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Clark has also worked extensively on hydrogen fuel cells, particularly in the area of model-based design optimization. His research has addressed flow field optimization to improve reactant distribution and pressure uniformity, leading to enhanced power output and fuel utilization. He has investigated gas diffusion layers and microporous layers, focusing on water management strategies and transport limitations that impact overall efficiency. His work aims to refine the operational characteristics of fuel cells to meet the stringent demands of automotive, aerospace, and stationary applications.
Electrolyzers
In the field of electrolyzers, Clark employs model-based design optimization to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen production. His research has explored electrode architecture optimization, seeking to improve mass transport and reaction kinetics at the electrochemical interface. He has developed coupled thermal and electrochemical models to better understand the heat generation and dissipation processes in electrolyzer operation. His degradation modelling efforts have provided insights into long-term performance, helping to predict system durability under varying operational conditions.
Semantic Web
Dr. Clark is actively involved in semantic data integration and ontology-driven knowledge representation in battery research. He has played a leading role in ontology development for electrochemical systems, ensuring alignment with the Elementary Multiperspective Materials Ontology (EMMO). His work has contributed to domain ontologies that standardize descriptions of battery components, test methods, and performance data, facilitating machine-readable data exchange across different research platforms. He has worked on linked data approaches that improve data interoperability, bridging experimental, modelling, and industrial datasets to enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing. His efforts in semantic web technologies align with the principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability, ensuring that battery-related data is structured in a way that maximizes reuse and knowledge discovery.
