Talk title: Efficient Water Management for Performance Enhancement of PEMFCs

Biography

Prof. Zhengkai Tu received his PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science & Technology in 2009. Thereafter, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing in Wuhan University of Technology and began his research in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). He worked as a visiting scholar at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research is focus on hydrogen energy and its application. Now, he is professor in College of Energy and Power Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. Dr. Tu has published over 300 refereed journal papers with H index of 59. These papers registered his great contribution in water and heat management in PEMFC, which provide guidelines for the design of PEMFC systems. He is now ranked #1 in hydrogen fuel cells and proton exchange membrane by ScholarGPS. He has conduct more than 30 projects as PI with the founding of 100 million (CNY). He is the Project advisor of the National Key Research and Development Program of China.
