Dr Marek Malinowski

PHD

Marek Malinowski received his M.Sc. degree in Material Science Engineering in 2008 from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. In 2008 he started working at Electrotechnical Institute Division of Electrotechnology and Materials Science as a research assistant in Renewable Energy Sources Section where he conducted fuel cell material science and application projects. In 2016, he obtained Ph.D. degree searching for new materials (electrodes and electrolytes) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. He is currently a post-doctoral researcher at University of the Western Cape, HySA Systems Integration & Technology Validation Competence Centre in Cape Town, South Africa where he joined scientific groups that work on renewable/fuel cell power generation and hydrogen production based on water electrolysis.
