The aim of this project is to allow the PI to begin new research with colleagues in chemical engineering by spending a year integrated into the WPI Chemical Engineering Department. The work should significantly increase our fundamental understanding of electrochemical reactions in Proton-Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Previously, the PI has studied mathematical problems coming from molten carbonate fuel cells, and the PI has mainly worked with colleagues in material science and physics rather than chemical engineering. The new work will concern mathematical issues associated with the electrochemical reactions in PEM fuel cells, but it is expected that other research opportunities will also arisen during the year. The PI will teach at least one course and work on a routine basis in WPI Chemical Engineering.This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).

该项目的目的是让PI与化学工程方面的同事一起开始新的研究，通过花一年的时间整合到WPI化学工程部门。这项工作将大大增加我们对质子交换膜（PEM）燃料电池中电化学反应的基本认识。在此之前，PI已经研究了来自熔融碳酸盐燃料电池的数学问题，并且PI主要与材料科学和物理学的同事合作，而不是化学工程。新的工作将涉及PEM燃料电池中电化学反应的数学问题，但预计其他研究机会也将在年内出现。该PI将教授至少一门课程，并在WPI化学工程的日常基础上工作。该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学司（DMS）联合支持。
