In addition, Dr. Miah had the fantastic opportunity through Postdoctoral/Early Researcher Career Development and Training (PERCAT) at UoB to engage in a series of meetings with a mentor. This proved to be a mind-opening experience regarding the significance of values and personal integrity in an increasingly competitive world. In this course he gained insights into the vital importance of aligning personal values with those of employers. He also acquired valuable knowledge about defining and pursuing future ambitions through goal-setting. This experience has been immensely beneficial, and I highly recommend it to fellow researchers. Additionally, he has expanded my international network by joining associations, including a year-long membership with the Royal Society of Chemistry. He has also been invited to serve as an international reviewer for grant evaluations and currently hold the position of Reviewer in the Frontiers in Chemistry. In pursuit of independence, He has established his independent research program and submitted grant applications. Looking ahead, his aspiration is to submit an ERC Starting Grant to establish and lead a research group.
The successful completion of this Fellowship will open multifarious career possibilities for Dr. Miah, promoting him academic reputation and future career prospects. Dr. Miah will aim to build collaboration between the academic and industrial units in Europe and in India. The success of GemDEFC work enhances innovation capacity of component and construction of PtRu catalyst electrodes and catalyst layer structures, and its potential promotion in EU will contribute to scientific and technological advances in DMFC/DEFC, nanomaterial science. The output will also greatly widen DMFC/DEFC application, promote its commercialization and reduce carbon emission and fossil energy consumption, making FC more attractive for potential exploiters and users of this clean technology.
Present work carried out contributes towards positive controlling of climate change and European policy objectives and strategies and have an impact on policy making. The results and understanding of catalyst layer structure and performances will power the application market, like in sustainable power generators and vehicles, and also the fuel producing technologies. A further understanding of electrode structures will also benefit the design and development of other electrochemical devices, e.g. batteries, super capacitors and sensors. The achievement of in-situ growing approach could also benefit for developing new nanostructures for industrial catalysis, catalysts for bio-fuel and bio-sensors, etc.
