Davi Soares

Davi Soares is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wichita State University (WSU). He is affiliated with the College of Engineering and is based at Wallace Hall on the main campus. His research focuses on advanced materials for electrochemical energy storage systems, including batteries and supercapacitors, with an emphasis on lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion technologies. He also explores applications of machine learning for battery health monitoring and additive manufacturing for electrode fabrication.

His work spans material science, nanotechnology, and renewable energy, with a particular interest in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), Weyl semimetals, and carbon-based composites. He has published extensively on topics like battery degradation modeling, composite insulator design, and electrode material optimization. His research aims to enhance energy storage efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in infrastructure applications.

Recent publications (2021–2025) highlight trends in physics-informed machine learning frameworks for battery health prediction, novel anode materials for next-gen batteries, and composite materials for supercapacitors. His contributions bridge fundamental material science with applied engineering solutions for energy systems.

Dr. Soares collaborates with WSU’s main campus labs and has contributed to peer-review processes, as evidenced by his acknowledgment in the 2022 Acknowledgment to Reviewers of Batteries. His lab’s work is accessible via the campus website.
