Dr Jungmyung Kim (Postdoctoral Research Associate)
Dr Kim is former Research Professor at Changwon National University (Republic of Korea). His research focus was on porous electrode for water-based flow batteries. He joined the HWU as a PDRA from April 2023, and the main focus is on the thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle (TREC) for the RFB application (EPSRC-funded position).
Olaya Salvado Recarey (PhD student)
Olaya Salvado Recarey obtained her Chemical Engineering degree in Spain and Poland. She also has a master’s degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for the study on charge carrier transport processes of solar cells. She also has worked in the applications department of a thin-film coating company based in the UK for four years. She started her PhD project at HWU from September 2021, and the main focus is on the solar rechargeable redox flow batteries.
