Programme Director
Stephen Skinner joined Imperial College in 1998 and was promoted to Professor in 2014. His research interests are in materials for new energy technologies and are primarily concerned with the chemical and physical properties of solid oxide cell electrolytes and electrodes and encompasses both the electrical and structural characteristics of materials. His group use a range of advanced techniques including isotopic labelling, secondary ion mass spectrometry, low energy ion scattering and both synchrotron and neutron diffraction and scattering to probe the structure and dynamics of materials.

Deputy Programme Director
Zonghao is currently the deputy programme director of the direct ammonia solid oxide fuel cell programme at Imperial Global Singapore (IGS). Her research interests focus on optimising the ion transport dynamics in solid state materials as well as composite phases for electrochemical energy applications.
Research Fellow
Kehan joined Imperial Global Singapore (IGS) as a research fellow after obtaining his PhD in 2025. His project, supervised by Prof. Stephen Skinner, maintains a strong collaboration with the group in London. His current research focuses on developing anode materials for direct ammonia fuel cells.
Research Fellow
Zhenzhu Li is a Research Fellow of the NH₃-SOFC team at Imperial Global Singapore (IGS) lead by Prof. Stephen Skinner, where she works on the computational modelling and investigation of this energy system guided by Prof. Aron Walsh. Her research lies at the intersection of computational materials science and artificial intelligence, with a focus on solar energy materials.
Research Fellow
Hayoung focuses on developing advanced materials and cell testing strategies for direct ammonia fuel solid oxide fuel cells (DA-SOFCs). It focuses particularly on catalyst material and optimization of electrochemical performance under ammonia conditions.
