Mehrdad Mashkour

I am a WISE Post-doc researcher in Luleå University of Technology. I received my dual Ph.D in Biochemical Engineering and Chemistry in 2021 from the Babol Noshirvani University of Technology (BNUT) (Iran) and the University of Bologna (Italy), respectively. Also, as a Post-doc researcher in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (Iran), I worked on synthesis of green electrodes for Zn-Air batteries. My research interests reside in electrode synthesis for energy storage devices with a focus on lignocellulose-based materials, as well as optimizing the structures of the electrodes to improve their electrochemical performance.
