Department: Mechanical and Construction Engineering

/about-us/our-staff/r/shahid-rasul/
Dr. Rasul's major research focus is to develop efficient energy conversion and storage devices by photo-electrochemical processes for sustainable and renewable fuels.

We conduct fundamental research in science and engineering of energy materials.

We design the surface and bulk properties of materials in such a way that improves the enerygy efficiency of both energy conversion and storage devices.
