Thesis / Project / PhD
Motivated students who have finished at least 3 semesters at the university are always welcome to join our research and perform their thesis/project work, or even PhD with us. Motivated researchers holding a PhD in relevant topics are also welcome to contact us to discuss possible funding schemes for them to join us. As further detailed under the Research tab, our research interest mostly includes:
- Electrochemical reduction of CO2
- Cell development for applied electrochemical processes, including CO2, water, CO or N2 electrolysis
- Catalyst/membrane/catalyst support testing for applied electrochemical processes
- Catalyst synthesis via chemical or electrochemical methods
- Catalyst stability testing (corrosion studies)
Teaching
As an assistant professor, I typically teach 2-3 courses in each semester. This includes teaching the following subjects:
- General chemistry laboratory practice
This course aims to teach the first year students how to work in a chemistry laboratory, how to perform basic laboratory operations and how to evaluate the results of simple experiments. The goal is to bring everyone up to speed, irrespective of how much experience they had in high school. - Physical chemistry laboratory practice for pharmacy students
Physical chemistry is an important subject for pharmacy students for better understanding the properties, physical transformation and stability of materials. During this course the students perform 10-12 different experiments to better understand the physico-chemical correlations learned in the previous semester. - Physical chemistry laboratory practice for MSc chemistry students
This advanced level course aims to deepen the knowledge of MSc chemistry students in various fields of physical chemistry. The students perform complex experiments, and evaluate the results using specific or general computer software. The topic of this course includes electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, spectroscopy and polymer chemistry. - Physical chemistry calculations for pharmacy and chemistry teacher students
Physical chemistry calculations also aid to better understand the phenomena learned during the Physical chemistry lectures. This course covers the basic calculations in several topics, including the Laws of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetic.
