To the gorgeous foothills of the Himalayas, from the magnificent Austrian Alps. As the four years of my doctoral research in developing electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies came close, I realized my keen interest in optimizing the performance of these technologies. The European ideology of promoting green hydrogen and storage of intermittent renewable energy aligns closely with my personal career ambitions. The Graz University of Technology established about 200 years ago balances a strong foundation of fundamentals with a modern vision. So, I wanted to have a research stay at TU Graz before finishing my doctoral studies and my application was supported by OeAD via the Ernst-Mach grant.
