Kuhlman Foundation\, Inc. is a non-profit entity established by the estate of Barbara L. Kuhlman. Ms. Kuhlman\, a college professor\, and life-long supporter of fiber arts achieved world-renowned status as a collector\, lecturer\, and author in her field. The Foundation continues her dedication to fiber arts and closely related fields with ph ilanthropic sponsorships\, grants\, and student scholarships.\n\nThe 2026 Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholars’ Group Exhibition showcases unique garments\ , wearable art\, and textile interpretations of the theme\, Elemental. Fiv e students in the Department of Human Centered Design were awarded Kuhlman scholarships in December 2025. Each scholar conducted design research\, f ocusing on the stories they wanted to tell and the techniques they wanted to explore from concept development to execution. The theme Elemental was chosen to reflect upon the power of nature. Each student approached elemen tal from a different perspective and yet one commonality seems to be the e xamination of our relationship with nature. Will focusing on the elements offer a reprieve? Can it take us to a dark place? According to the work in this exhibition\, the answer is yes. It is a subject that contains multit udes. We hope you enjoy seeing the creative journeys this year's Kuhlman S cholars took.

However\, uncoordinated integration into the grid risks exac erbating peak demand\, destabilising distribution networks\, and undermini ng the transition to renewable energy. Realising the full promise of elect rified transport requires moving beyond aggregate load assumptions towards a rigorous\, behaviourally grounded understanding of how\, when\, and why individuals charge and discharge their vehicles.\n\nThis talk examines th e methods\, challenges\, and implications of modelling EV charging and dis charging behaviour at the individual and fleet level. It explores how data -driven modelling frameworks can capture the complex interplay between tra vel demand\, user preferences\, energy needs\, and grid conditions\, provi ding the behavioural intelligence necessary to underpin smart charging str ategies\, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) dispatch\, and infrastructure planning.\n\ nThe talk further highlights how disaggregate behavioural models can trans late into tangible system-level benefits: reduced peak demand\, lower char ging costs\, enhanced renewable energy integration\, and improved grid res ilience. EV behaviour modelling sits at the intersection of transport\, en ergy\, and data science\, and this talk makes the case that understanding (dis)charging behaviour is not just academic research\, it is the foundati on for intelligent\, sustainable energy systems.\n \n\nBio: Aruna Sivakuma r is professor of consumer demand modelling and urban systems in the Depar tment of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, and director of the Urban S ystems Lab\, at Imperial College London. Her research sits at the intersec tion of transport\, energy\, and urban systems\, with a particular focus o n electric vehicle behaviour\, smart charging\, and activity-based travel demand modelling. She has published over 60 peer-reviewed journal papers\, attracting more than 5\,400 citations\, and has led major research initia tives funded by EPSRC\, ESRC\, Innovate UK\, and the EU. She has served on the Travel Behaviour and Values subcommittee of the Transportation Resear ch Board in the United States\, and the Infrastructure Operation and Traff ic Management in Developing Countries committee of the World Conference on Transport Research Society.
