dr. M. Mehrali (Mohammad)

I am currently an assistant professor in the thermal engineering group at the University of Twente.I was a postdoctoral researcher from 2018 to 2019 at the same department working on advanced energy materials for thermal storage applications .From 2016 to 2018, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Process & Energy department . There, I was involved in multidisciplinary projects dealing with nanomaterials for solar energy harvesting as well as microfabrication. Before that, as a post-doc at the University of Malaya, I have developed a new graphene based composite materials for thermal energy storage applications. I have pursued my Ph.D. (2012-2015) under the supervision of Prof. Metselaar in the advanced materials group at the University of Malaya. There, I have contributed to fundamental studies on graphene materials for energy storage as well as applications such as thermal energy storage and thermal-fluids.
