About

I am Abdul Kareem, working as Postdoctoral Fellow at American University of Sharjah, UAE. I obtained a PhD degree in the field of electrocatalysis from the Vellore Institute of Technology with a thesis titled “structural modulation of transition metal selenides towards enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction”. I have expertise in synthesizing various electrocatalysts for various energy conversion and storage devices (Such as water electrolyzers, fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and supercapacitors). I have published 18 papers in various international journals and presented my works at national and international conferences. I received one Best Poster and one Best Oral Presentation award at international conferences. I am the recipient of the Senior Research Fellowship from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi. Currently, I am focusing on the synthesis of highly stable binder-free flexible electrodes for water electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen to fulfill the energy demand and overcome the energy crisis.
