Pascal will visit Prof. Iryna Zenyuk at the University of California Irvine, where he will work on ionic-liquids-filled catalyst layer pores for fuel cells. The idea is to improve conductivity and mass transport so that the durability and high efficiency of energy materials for fuel cells can be maximized.
Ken will visit Prof. John Gregoire at the California Institute of Technology, where he will work on data-driven methods to accelerate electrocatalyst discovery via autonomous experimentations.
We wish both of them good luck and a fruitful experience.
