Expertise
My present research focuses primarily on alkaline water electrolysis for green hydrogen production. More generally, I investigate electrochemical reactors, typically involving mass transport, porous electrodes, and multiphase flows. Applications include electrolysers for hydrogen production and CO2-reduction, membraneless redox flow batteries, and fuel cells. I aim to improve understanding, optimize, and provide innovations for scaled-up designs through mathematical and computational modeling as well as through prototyping and experiments.
