HNEI Associate Researcher Matthieu Dubarry was honored at the 2025 UH Manoa Awards Ceremony with the Regents’ Medal for Excellence in Research. This medal is awarded by UH’s Board of Regents to deserving faculty and recognizes research and scholarly contributions that expand the boundaries of knowledge and enrich the lives of students and the community.
Dr. Dubarry is recognized for pioneering data-driven techniques to non-destructively assess lithium-ion battery degradation. His work has produced a suite of software tools for predicting battery lifespan at both the cell and pack levels. His diagnostic model, ʻalawa —named for the Hawaiian word meaning “to diagnose with insight”— has earned global recognition and is used by universities and companies around the world.
