INTERN NAME: JUSTIN BUI MENTOR NAME) MERON TESFAYE, DR. DOUGLAS KUSHNER 1. Briefly describe the project the intern will work on, and what they are expected to accomplish this term. Intern will be engaged in understanding oxygen gas transport resistance in fuel cell catalyst layer. The catalyst layer in polymer electrolyte fuel cells is a critical component responsible for facilitating oxygen reduction reaction and generating energy and water. Intern will be applying polymer physics, electrochemistry, gas transport phenomenon to understand how oxygen moves through the catalyst layer to the active sites where reaction happens. He will be part of a team thatis assembling a new microelectrode set up to investigate this scientific problem. 2, What special equipment, techniques, software, etc., will the intern learn or use in accomplishing the above tasks? Intern will be using humidity set up, 3 electrode microelectrode set up, applying electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, spin coating method, dip coating method, and polymer film formation. 3. How often and where will the intern meet with the mentor during the term? (All Workforce Development & Education interns will attend Brown Bag group meetings; these are weekly during summer term, and biweekly during spring and fall terms.) In addition to daily interactions, intern is expected to write a bi-weekly report to PI indicating his work progress, challenges and questions. 4. To whom will the intetn report for day-to-day supervision (Mentor, Associate Mentor, or another lab/staff member)? Intern will report to Meron Tesfaye or Dr. Douglas Kushner. . What daily work schedule is the intern expected to keep? 9AM ~ 5 PM ate the expected hours. 6. Please list day, time and frequency of departmental meetings intern is expected to attend: Every Friday intern will attend group meetings. 7. For this assignment, what EH8S taining is required? (You may attach alist of WPC required courses) Atached. Justia Bat
