Congratulations to Jonas Bokstaller on Defending his Doctoral Thesis with Distinction

The University of Liechtenstein warmly congratulates Jonas Bokstaller on successfully defending his doctoral thesis with the highest distinction. Jonas, a native of Liechtenstein, was supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Johannes Schneider and co-mentored by Prof. Dr. Jan vom Brocke and Prof. Dr. Simon Lux. His dissertation was developed in close collaboration with Hilti, once again highlighting the excellent partnership between the University of Liechtenstein and regional industry.

The research focuses on the development of a platform to monitor, predict, and maintain the health of batteries powering Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The work emphasises the importance of long-term maintenance for battery-powered IoT systems and demonstrates how IoT functionality can be used to transmit battery health data to the cloud.

The study centres on small, energy-efficient IoT devices, where usage and battery data are primarily collected using counters. It explores the feasibility of using only low-frequency usage data to track, predict, and maintain battery health. Furthermore, the dissertation discusses the integration of capacity-based State of Health (SoH) with data-driven SoH models. The ultimate goal is to ensure up-to-date and reliable information on battery health at all times.

We sincerely congratulate Jonas Bokstaller on this outstanding achievement and wish him continued success in his future endeavours!
