Bryant Dang

With over 3 years in the battery R&D and a strong focus on data analytics and process improvement, I offer a dolutions-driven approach to quality assurance. I've led team planning efforts, implemented automated workflows to streamline data processing, and utilized tools like JMP to monitor process stability and identify optimization opportunities. My experience includes hands-on lab work (ranging from analytical to cathode active material synthesis), electrochemical performance testing, and statistical analysis techniques such as ANOVA and clustering.

I’m passionate about using data to drive decisions and ensuring reliable, efficient product performance.
