Alan Atkinson

Professor Alan Atkinson is a faculty member at Imperial College London specializing in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), focusing on electrolyte processing, mechanical properties of porous electrodes, and commercialization-oriented degradation research.

His core research areas include:

• Fuel Cell Technology
• Materials Science
• Electroceramics
• Mechanical Properties of Materials
• Microstructure Coarsening
• Mechanical Degradation

He actively contributes to the Supergen consortium "Fuel Cells: Powering a Greener Future" and leads EU-funded projects SOFC-Life and PROSOFC, targeting microstructure evolution and mechanical failure mechanisms to achieve commercial SOFC lifetimes.
