I research hydrogen, fuel cells and electrolysers since 2002.
I am now leading my 5th EU project, SURFER (starting january 2026).
I have accumulated significant experience in leading diverse and distributed research teams for a total budget in excess of 30 million €.
Awarded the 2021 Agnew/Goodall award by IMechE and "Best Success Story" by EU's Clean Hydrogen JU for the project StasHH.
I still enjoy doing research myself, and then Python is one of my favourite tools.
