Oskar Dondelewski

I am a Battery Modeling & Algorithms Engineer at Apple, specializing in the design, modeling, and control algorithms for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. My work includes developing advanced cell models and core BMS algorithms, pushing the boundaries of peak power, energy density, longevity, fast charging, and efficiency for next-generation consumer electronics.

Previously, I worked as Lead Research Engineer in Aston Martin Lagonda’s Special Vehicle Operations, where I worked on Valkyrie hypercar and other high-performance vehicles, focusing on powertrain technologies and battery systems. My career began at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) as an engineer contributing to the CMS Phase-1 Pixel detector upgrade for the Large Hadron Collider, focusing on innovative two-phase CO₂ electronics cooling systems and hardware prototyping.

I hold a postgraduate degree with Distinction in Advanced Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London, where I also served as Visiting Researcher for two years in the Electrochemical Science & Engineering Group, conducting research on lithium-ion battery electrochemistry, cell degradation, and thermal performance. Earlier, I conducted research at the Shock Waves & Space Propulsion Laboratory at Nagoya University in Japan on high-power laser-matter interactions for next-generation space propulsion systems. I have also completed an exchange program at the National University of Singapore, focusing on future energy technologies and thermal engineering, and earned my bachelor’s degree in Power Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology, graduating summa cum laude.

I am a co-inventor on 3 granted US patents with 5+ patents pending and co-author of several peer-reviewed publications covering batteries, propulsion technologies and particle physics.
