Main Research Activities
The objective of my research is to model and simulate the fabrication process of PEMFC electrodes using Coarse Grained Molecular/Particle Dynamics. We intend to observe the influence of various manufacturing parameters on the various characteristics of an electrode such as their porosity, pore size distribution, tortuosity factory and conductivities. The project is a collaborative effort between Professor Alejandro Franco’s group at LRCS, UPJV and the Digital Modelling Department of Freudenberg Technology Innovation SE & Co. KG (FTI) in Weinheim, Germany. This project will be powered by the ARTISTIC framework that was developed by CNRS and UPJV.Academic Training
