Low cost electrocatalysts for flexible hydrogen production
Biography
I hold a BSc in Chemical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology and an MSc in Energy Systems Engineering from the University of Tehran. For my master's thesis, I focused on enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of platinum in direct methanol fuel cells using functionalized graphene.
Research
Currently, I am part of the Battery Materials and Technologies research group, where I am developing novel electrocatalysts from earth-abundant materials. These electrocatalysts aim to enable low-cost, flexible hydrogen production through water electrolysis. My project is part of the UTU-Solutions for Green and Digital Transition program and is supported by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
