FULL CV

“Dr. Shimpalee's research interests are in the area of numerical analyses of fuel cells. These studies have included 1-D theoretical mathematical models to 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. By using the experimental data validation, we can develop and improve our model to be more consistent with increased accuracy. These procedures and techniques will lead to the improvement of fuel cells technology.”
