About

Faraj Altumi is a pioneering researcher in sustainable manufacturing and circular economy, with a primary focus on the robotic disassembly of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. His work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in the transition to electrification: the efficient processing of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. Altumi’s major contribution is the development of a robotic disassembly platform specifically designed for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle batteries, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2024 case study (29 citations). This platform enables automated, safe, and scalable disassembly—a critical first step for recycling, repurposing, or remanufacturing battery components. His 2025 experimental robotic cell further advances this work, tackling the environmental hazards of linear end-of-life strategies like landfilling. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 30, Altumi’s research is foundational for the circular economy of EV batteries. His achievements include designing systems that reduce human exposure to hazardous materials and improve recovery rates of valuable materials. For students and researchers, Altumi’s work exemplifies how robotics can solve real-world sustainability challenges, making him a key figure in the intersection of automation, energy storage, and environmental engineering.
