Liminal uses ultrasound and machine learning to create a new way to inspect battery manufacturing, elevate cell quality, and improve cost and safety. They've raised over $35M from investors such as our friends at ArcTern Ventures, EIF, and Northvolt, as well as the federal government, including ARPA-E and NSF. Andrew brings a PhD and post-doc work at Princeton University to the creation of this venture. He's also an Active Fellow and Board member, as well as a skilled photographer. In this episode, you'll learn these four important takeaways and much more. How they sell to customers (it's not what you think) How they generate revenue from three sources of value How a random Youtube video about bouncing batteries led to the creation of this technology How he reads the late-night scribbles on the notepad by his bed each morning
Electrification of the world's transportation depends heavily on the ability to build efficient, fast-charging electric vehicle batteries in massive quantities. Meet Andrew Hsieh, founder and CEO of Emeryville, Calif-based Liminal Insights, a developer of EV battery data and analytics tools used to test batteries during manufacturing. Liminal aims to help battery makers make better batteries faster. But shortages of critical minerals, battery failures that have spurred EV recalls, and China's battery manufacturing dominance, to name just a few challenges, have raised questions about the viability of the US' goal to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. Can America build better batteries to power EVs and store energy on the grid? Can we make enough batteries, and recycle EV battery packs to reduce the need for mining? With substantial innovation in battery technology and manufacturing processes, we may electrify the transportation sector by 2035.Liminal has developed EchoStat, an AI-enabled ultrasound battery inspection system that manufacturers can use to assess the performance of every individual battery cell as it comes off the production line. The process takes seconds and prevents bad cells from being integrated into battery packs. Andrew announced a $17.5 million investment in February, which Liminal will use to accelerate the development and deployment of its inspection tools. Liminal also received a $2.75 million grant from the California Energy Commission to help integrate EchoStat into automated manufacturing facilities, or "gigafactories."

Self Evident tells Asian American stories — but that term itself, “Asian American,” can mean many different things to different people. In this episode we present three stories from our listener community to explore the ways “Asian American” reflects both representation and exclusion, empowerment and stereotyping, under the diverse umbrella of Asian American identity. Share your story and keep the conversation going! We want to hear from you! Do you identify as Asian American? Why or why not? Email your story to community@selfevidentshow.com, or share with us on social media @SelfEvidentShow, with the hashtag #WeAreSelfEvident.

I like to think of Sherman Cochran and Andrew Hsieh‘s new book as Downton Abbey: Shanghai Edition. It is that gripping, and will keep you turning the pages that eagerly.

I like to think of Sherman Cochran and Andrew Hsieh‘s new book as Downton Abbey: Shanghai Edition. It is that gripping, and will keep you turning the pages that eagerly. At the same time, The Lius of Shanghai (Harvard University Press, 2013) is also an important, innovative, and timely intervention into the historiography of families, institutions, and the politics of modern China. The book is a family history of an exceptionally prominent (and exceptionally fascinating) business family in China during the first half of the twentieth century. Emerging from a cache of letters written between the late 1920s and early 1950s and held at the Center for Research on Chinese Business History in the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, the project ultimately expanded to incorporate an archive of roughly 2,000 family letters that chronicle the relationships, educations, careers, romantic and political entanglements, and physical and emotional health of all of the members (literate and not) of this large and growing family. Sherm and I talked about the arc of the story in the context of the broader political transformations of modern China, his own narrative choices in structuring the book, and the larger significance of the book for reshaping the way we think about power relationships and the history of Chinese families. It is a wonderfully gripping and masterfully written model of the historian’s craft, and I hope you enjoy the conversation and the book as much as I did! Learn more about your ad choices.
