Short Biography

Prof. Michael Eikerling received his Ph.D. in Physics from Technische Universität München (TUM). As of May 2019, he was appointed Professor at RWTH Aachen University and Director at the new subinstitute for Modeling and Simulation of Materials in Energy Technology (IEK-13) within Forschungszentrum Jülich. His research employs physical theory and computation to unravel how materials in polymer electrolyte fuel cells and other electrochemical technologies form, function, fade and fail. He has published over 130 journal articles (h-index 36) and 1 book. In 2017, Dr. Eikerling was awarded the Alexander Kuznetsov Prize for Theoretical Electrochemistry of the International Society of Electrochemistry. He serves on editorial boards of Scientific Reports and Electrocatalysis and engages in affairs of the international electrochemical community.
