Biography

Dr. Jahangir Masud is a Electrochemical Process Development Engineer at the EERC, where he works on a multidisciplinary team to conduct research on platinum group metal-free electrocatalysts on carbon-free supports for proton exchange membrane fuel cell applications. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry (electrochemistry) from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and an M.S. degree in Organic Chemistry and a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh. Prior to his position at the EERC, he served as a Research Associate at Missouri S&T in Rolla, Missouri.

Dr. Masud’s principal areas of interest and expertise include energy storage and conversion, electrocatalyst synthesis, and electrocatalysis. He is currently working on a project to develop carbon-free catalyst support for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).
