9/5/2025 – This week, the IPPD Lithionics team was introduced to each other and their accomplished and esteemed coach Dr. Umesh Persad. So far many of the tasks have been of the scheduling/logistical variety. Weekly team meeting times have been established and the Lithionics liaison has been reached out to for their availability as well. The team thoroughly read over the scope of work provided by the company and made notes of potential discussion topics for the first liaison meeting. Furthermore, the team also has begun researching Lithionics and their products to develop a better understanding of the company they will be closely working with. The team has also created an organized schedule with priorities of tasks that need to be completed to advance the project. The IPPD Lithionics team is ecstatic about the opportunity to develop this product for Lithionics and is looking forward to reaching major milestones soon!
