I have a passion for solving in-depth and challenging problems in (electro-)catalysis, reactor design and control. This passion stems from strong foundations that I developed during my Masters in Mechanical Engineering at University of Minnesota, PhD in Chemical Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Postdoctoral research in Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion at Imperial College London. At UT, I am now leveraging those foundations to investigate and teach the fundamental physico-chemical phenomena across multiple scales that govern the performance and life of next-gen (electro-)chemical devices e.g. hydrogen fuel cells, electrolysers, batteries, that will help accelerate the energy transition. For more information, please visit SEED lab.
I am also the founder and co-coordinator of Hydrogen UT (Hy.UT), the hydrogen community of the University of Twente. For more information, please visit utwente.nl/hydrogen.
We design, control and scale up next-generation chemical and electrochemical technologies from innovative lab-scale devices to novel industrial processes by combining local operando characterisation and performance testing with integrated multi-scale multi-physics digital twins (from catalyst/electrode surfaces to industrial unit systems). Our priority areas are energy storage and conversion technologies with emphasis on high temperature hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers and redox flow batteries.
See this video from the 2022 EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels highlighting one of the main themes of our research.
Or this one from 4TU Energy to get a glimpse into our research activities.
Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
