Noor Ul Hassan joined NREL's Chemistry and Nanoscience Center in April 2023 as a postdoctoral
researcher. His research in the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells group is to explore science
behind anion exchange membrane fuel cells and water electrolyzers specifically focusing
on improving the performance and durability of such systems. He received his doctorate
in chemical engineering at the University of South Carolina, Columbia with Professor
William E. Mustain, where he investigated various component level aspects of fuel
cell and water electrolyzer systems such as electrode engineering / optimization,
ionomeric binders, catalyst ink rheology, and porous transport layers.
