Yasser Ashraf Gandomi, PhD

I am currently a Senior Battery Scientist working at the intersection of electrochemistry, mechanical, and thermal engineering from small-scale reactors to large-scale multi-cell stacks for various electrochemical energy systems including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), redox flow batteries (RFBs), polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and electrochemical sensors (ESs).

Priorly, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I have received my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee.

I) At MIT and the University of Tennessee, I have collaborated with peers on multiple projects funded by the Department of Energy (DOE), Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR), MIT Energy Initiative (MITei), Volkswagen, Hyundai, and several other companies (e.g. W. L. Gore and Associates & Kraton).

II) The central theme of my research has been focused on the investigation of mass and heat transport processes in varous electrochemical systems. (Further details)

III) I instruct several courses (e.g. Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Mechanics) within the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tennessee. (Further details)

IV) I collaborate with the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (IJHE) as an Assistant Subject Editor. (Further details)

V) I am a contributing author and editor for the International Association for Hydrogen Energy’s e-newsletter. (Further details)
