Early life and education

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 Arnulf Latz and 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)
