Biography

Daniel Auger is Professor of Electrification, Modelling and Control in Cranfield University's Advanced Vehicle Engineering Centre. He is an expert in control systems, vehicle electrification and modelling. He has pioneered advanced battery management algorithms for lightweight lithium-sulfur batteries. He has also introduced new state-of-the-art MSc teaching in applied control engineering and launched a new course in connected and autonomous vehicle engineering.

With a background in control engineering, he has expertise and experience connecting the 'theoretical' world of mathematical modelling and simulation with the real physical world. His research team has strong capabilities in control, simulation, application and duty cycle modelling, hardware prototyping, mixed hardware/simulation test environments and state estimation. Current activities range from battery state characterization and state estimation using physics-based techniques coupled with estimation theory and/or artifical intelligence; thermal modelling; force-feedback systems to assist drivers resuming control in highly-automated vehicles; vendor-agnostic 'test oracle' assessment of automated driving safety using data from experimental scenarios; and hybrid 'multi-chemistry' energy storage technologies

Before joining Cranfield, Professor Auger worked in senior control engineering roles in BAE Systems and MathWorks Consulting Services. He has MA, MEng and PhD degrees from Cambridge and is a chartered engineer, an IET Fellow and an IEEE Senior Member.
