About me
I am a Docent at the Department of Chemical Engineering/Division of Applied Electrochemistry, with a background in chemical engineering and a strong focus on energy-related electrochemical systems.
My academic journey has been centered on electrochemistry and sustainable technologies. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on advanced electrochemical methods for water treatment. This interest continued into my master’s thesis, where I investigated hydrogen purification using palladium-coated ceramic membranes for fuel cell applications. These experiences laid the foundation for my pursuit of a PhD in the energy field.
I began my doctoral studies in 2015 at Aarhus University, Denmark, where my research focused on flow batteries and their integration with solar cells. During my PhD, I was also a visiting researcher at the University of Porto, Portugal, for four months.
Following my PhD, I joined KTH as a postdoctoral researcher, where I played a key role in establishing a flow battery research laboratory. In 2022, I was appointed as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at my current institution, and in 2025, I was awarded the title of Docent.
My research broadly spans electrochemistry, with particular emphasis on flow cells and electrochemical devices such as flow batteries and electrolyzers. I conduct applied research on key components including electrodes, membranes, and electrolytes. In addition, I have a growing interest in the application of numerical methods and machine learning to advance electrochemical system design and performance.
I am currently supervising five PhD students and am always open to new collaborations. If you are interested in working together, please feel free to reach out via email.
