Exploring Electrochemical Technology: A Perspective on the ASEE/NSF Small Business Postdoctoral Research Diversity Fellowship

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The American Society for Engineering Education administers a postdoctoral fellowship program supported by the National Science Foundation, encouraging PhD recipients to conduct research in small businesses for 1-2 years.This is a relatively new and unique program where the fellow gains valuable hands-on industry experience while simultaneously small companies enjoy PhD-level work at an affordable cost.To date, the official website is the sole source of public information about this program, with very few first-hand experiences described.This paper summarizes the research and professional activities of a postdoctoral fellow working for Proton OnSite, a leader proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis systems.The information will help graduate students make educated career decisions.
