Research

Dr. Jason Keonhag Lee’s research specializes in the advancement of clean energy technologies aimed to reduce carbon footprint from our environment. Notable examples of these technologies include hydrogen fuel cells, capable of generating electrical energy through the utilization of hydrogen and air, and electrolyzers that produce hydrogen from liquid water and electricity. Dr. Lee focuses on development of membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) based electrochemical devices to deliver solutions to the current climate change crisis. Dr. Lee’s research interests are:

  • Fabricating advanced electrodes for MEA-devices for high performance and durability.
  • Designing porous materials used in MEA-devices through simulation and experimentation.
  • Characterizing transport properties of multi-phase flow occurring within porous materials.
  • Visualizing the transport behaviors of fluids within the operating electrochemical cells using various means.
  • Advanced engineering of interfaces to reduce the usage of platinum group metals in MEA-devices.
