Yasser Ashraf Gandomi, PhD

My expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical engineering and electrochemistry, spanning from small-scale reactors to large-scale multi-cell stacks. I specialize in various electrochemical energy systems, including redox flow batteries (RFBs), lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), electrolyzers, microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and electrochemical sensors (ESs).

I possess a deep understanding of the diverse materials and components that compose batteries and electrochemical cells, and how their interactions can influence cell performance. I actively drive the design and prototyping of cells to analyze their electrochemical and stability performance. I particularly enjoy pioneering failure mode analyses for these systems and constructing models to assess their performance and degradation mechanisms.

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)
