HEL Group, a global developer and manufacturer of innovative laboratory tools for process optimisation, safety, and scale-up, has announced the appointment of Professor Yih-Shing Duh as Chief Scientific Advisor. With over 30 years of experience in thermal safety, Professor Duh will support the ongoing development of HE’s comprehensive portfolio of battery calorimeters.

Professor Duh is currently a professor at Xiamen University, where he leads the Reaction Risk Evaluation Laboratory (RHEL) of the Gulei Institute of Petrochemical Research. He collaborates with HEL China to develop thermal testing protocols for lithium-ion batteries using HEL’s BTC-130. His academic experience includes positions at the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan, Taiwan United University, and Yunlin University of Science and Technology.

Previously, Professor Duh has supported HEL in enhancing its battery testing product portfolio by conducting product principles and industry application training for HEL’s sales and after-sales personnel and advising customers through the BTC User Training Conference. As Chief Scientific Advisor, he will continue his involvement with HEL’s application support team, conducting calorimeter demonstrations and customer data analysis, and driving the development and expansion of HEL’s reaction calorimeters.

Allen Wang, General Manager, HEL China, commented: “Following a long-standing relationship with Professor Duh, we are thrilled to officially appoint him as our Chief Scientific Advisor. His extensive experience in lithium-ion battery thermal safety will be invaluable in supporting the growth of the battery market in China, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Xiamen University to develop safer, larger batteries.”

Professor Yih-Shing Duh, Chief Scientific Advisor at HEL Group, stated: “I am delighted to be working with HEL Group, both in an advisory capacity and through our joint research efforts into reaction hazard safety at the RHEL. HEL’s range of battery calorimeters is highly innovative, providing accurate insights into the thermal behaviour of batteries. I look forward to demonstrating their efficacy to customers and partners through the upcoming seminars at Xiamen University.”
