I’ve recently started a new postdoc at Newcastle University, working in the research group of Dr Mohamed Mamlouk. I will be developing computational simulations and models to aid in the design of water electrolysers for a UK project (see the link below).

Hydrogen production from renewable sources is essential to reduce the impact of carbon emissions on the climate as well as reducing the dependancy on natural gas suppliers. This would require a scale up on renewable sources, with wind being the most abundant in the UK to fuel the conversion of sea water to hydrogen. This can be used directly as a heating source, an energy storage vector for transport applications (fuel cells) or combined with carbon dioxide to create hydrocarbons.
If you are interested in research into water electrolysis or fuel cells, please get in touch.
