Dr. Bao Zhiming is an Associate Research Fellow at Tianjin University and a supervisor for master's and doctoral students. He has been engaged in the multi-scale process research and design of electrochemical energy devices (fuel cells, electrolyzers, and secondary batteries) for a long time. As the first or corresponding author, he has published 20+ papers in journals such as Nature (as first student author), Science Bulletin, Applied Energy, and Energy Conversion and Management, written two English chapters, applied for/been granted five invention patents, and drafted one group standard as the primary drafter.

He serves as the lead lecturer for the undergraduate courses Fundamentals of Fluid and Heat & Mass Transfer and Energy and Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, He holds the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Special Battery Division of the China Battery Industry Association and serves as a reviewer for journals including Energy Conversion and Management, Energy, IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, Fuel, and Applied Thermal Engineering.

He has undertaken projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Youth Program), sub-projects under the National Key R&D Program, the Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program, the Tianjin Postdoctoral Innovation Position, as well as fuel cell, electrolyzer, and secondary battery development projects commissioned by enterprises such as China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, China Automotive Data, and the Guangdong National Energy Storage Research Institute. His research focuses on autonomous simulation technology and software development for fuel cells, microscopic mass transport mechanisms in electrolyzers, multi-physics coupling simulation techniques for electrolyzers, thermal management and thermal design of large-scale battery packs for electric heavy trucks, as well as battery cell failure mechanisms and lifespan prediction algorithm development.
