Mr. Daniel Panno is an associate in the vehicle engineering practice and has expertise in electric vehicle (EV) battery and consumer electronics testing. He specializes in test design, setup, and failure-mode analysis for a wide range of products. He is proficient in design requirement decomposition and component identification, CNC fabrication and additive manufacturing, multi-stream data acquisition, 3-D scanning, test fixture design, data processing, photo-documentation, and failure analysis.

At Ä¢¹½tv, Mr. Panno has worked on robot-assisted testing of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), cell-level battery penetration, consumer electronics accelerated-aging tests, and EV battery full-pack failure-mode tests. His experience in EV battery testing includes thermal runaway propagation, coolant leak investigations, and biaxial pack motion with a coolant ingress condition.

Mr. Panno received his Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois where he designed, built, and drove a car powered entirely by a handheld drill. He assisted in the research and design of a bipedal robot, using a physics-based model to determine the optimal placement of parts. He also has experience working in ROS, where he programmed a humanoid robot to detect a projectile, determine its trajectory, then move into position to deflect it.
