Experience


Hui Li Seong is a Technologist in the JPL Electrochemical Research, Technology, & Engineering Group. She is supporting the development of high specific energy primary batteries for Europa Lander and future Ocean Worlds missions.

Hui Li received her BS in Biotechnology and Chemistry from California Polytechnic Univ. Pomona in 2008. Her passion for environmental conservation ultimately led to her career in alternative energy solutions.

Hui Li received most of her battery electrochemical education on the job after receiving her BS. She began her battery career as a Process Development Engineer for primary batteries in a start-up company co-founded by Caltech's Dr. Rachid Yazami. Hui Li then moved on to Silicon Valley giant, Apple Inc. and continued to expand her expertise into battery testing, material characterization and electrochemical characterization of Li-ion batteries. After Apple, Hui Li returned to Southern California, where she worked in Quallion as a Battery Engineer supporting aerospace and medical programs, as well as supervising the Test Group.

Batteries and battery materials continue to fascinate Hui Li today. She seeks to further understand battery performance and the degradation mechanisms associated with it via material and electrochemical characterization, with the goal of improving overall battery performance.
