Florian Gollmann

Visiting Student

Florian is pursuing a master’s degree in chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany and joined the Brushett group as a visiting student in October 2024. During his academics, Florian worked in the group of Prof. Hubert A. Gasteiger, where he investigated Pt-alloy cathode catalysts in PEM fuel cells for heavy duty vehicle applications. In the Brushett group, Florian will be working on non-aqueous electrochemical carbon dioxide separation. Outside of the lab, Florian enjoys road cycling, sailing, and skiing.
