Research Interests

  • Water management in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs)
  • Characterization of PEMFC Gas Diffusion Layers
  • Microfluidic fuel cells
  • Microfluidics & multiphase flow in porous media
  • Carbon sequestration

Our research interests encompass the study of microfluidics applied to transport phenomena in energy systems, with a focus on polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technologies. The goal of our work is to design novel materials and architectures for enhanced energy systems through a two pronged approach: numerical modelling and experimental validation. Our research is multidisciplinary and involves fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, micro- and nano-technologies, chemistry, and geology. Learn more »

Graduate positions available

I am looking for bright and motivated graduate students who are interested in investigating the transport phenomena and performance of PEM fuel cells through computational modelling and experimentation. Learn more »
