Markus Stähler

Dr. Markus Stähler serves as a Researcher and Head of the MEA Manufacturing research group at the Electrochemical Process Engineering department (IET-4) within the Institute of Energy Technologies at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. His work focuses on developing advanced manufacturing techniques for membrane electrode assemblies critical to hydrogen energy systems.

His research spans Electrochemical Engineering, Fuel Cell Technology, and MEA Manufacturing, with emphasis on scalable production methods for energy conversion devices. Current projects integrate materials science and process optimization to enhance efficiency in low-temperature electrolysis systems, directly supporting sustainable hydrogen economy initiatives through innovations in catalyst integration and functional layer systems.

As leader of the MEA Manufacturing team, he oversees research within IET-4's broader framework investigating physico-chemical processes, spectroscopy, and reactor systems for next-generation energy technologies. The group collaborates across Forschungszentrum Jülich's divisions including hydrogen behavior analysis and thermo-fluid dynamics.
