Joshua Lamb

Dr. Joshua Lamb is currently a Principal Member of the Technical Staff with the Advanced Power Sources R&D organization at Sandia National Laboratories. He is the lead for Battery Safety and Reliability for Department of Energy Office of Electricity energy storage programs at Sandia. This program seeks to improve the understanding of both catastrophic and non-catastrophic battery failure with a multi-disciplinary team that combines experimental expertise, fundamental thermodynamic studies, and system safety research. He also leads battery abuse testing at Sandia as part of the Battery Abuse Test Laboratory (BATLab) team. The team focuses on the development of inherently safe lithium-ion batteries by understanding the consequences and mechanisms of failure, developing cradle-to-grave battery testing, and developing new materials for use in battery systems. Joshua earned his Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering in 2008 and his B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2002 from the University of Nevada. Since joining Sandia in 2011, Joshua’s research interests include advanced techniques for determining the stability of lithium-ion batteries and the development of advanced battery abuse and safety tests.
