Biography
Dr. Yusuf Bicer is an Associate Professor in the Division of Sustainable Development with the College of Science and Engineering at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Doha, Qatar. He received his PhD (2017) in the area of mechanical engineering at the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, Canada. His PhD thesis investigated photoelectrochemical-based hydrogen and ammonia production options. He completed his BSc in Control Engineering (2012) and a master’s degree in Energy Science and Technology (2014) at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey.
His research area focuses on solar energy utilization in various processes such as effective cooling in greenhouses through innovative approaches, development of renewable-based integrated energy systems with desalination, carbon capture and conversion, and clean fuel production, including hydrogen and ammonia.
