PEM Fuel Cells

Dr. Gurbinder Kaur earned her PhD degree from Thapar University in 2012. She was the principle investigator for the project (based on fuel cells), awarded by the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi (2010–12). She is the recipient of the fellowship under the RFSMS scheme of the University Grants Commission (UGC), 2010. After completing her doctorate, she moved to Virginia Tech, USA to work as a postdoctoral fellow. She was an integral part of the research team of the host institute to address the complex issues of the leakage losses in the planar design of SOFC. She is also a recipient of postdoctoral fellowship from the UGC, New Delhi (2014) for pursuing research work in the field of bioactive glasses. She has been working on a variety of different materials and applications, including high-temperature energy materials, bioactive materials, and optical materials. She is the author/editor of seven books based on her research work with reputed publishing houses such as Elsevier LLC and Springer.
