Yagya Regmi

Dr Yagya Regmi is a Reader in Energy Conversion and Storage at Manchester Metropolitan University, affiliated with the Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre and the Chemistry Department. His research focuses on developing advanced materials and electrochemical devices for renewable energy storage, including fuel cells, electrolysers, and redox flow batteries. He also investigates biomass conversion to value-added chemicals and techno-economic analysis of energy technologies.

• Education: BSc (2005) from Lyon College, Arkansas; PhD (2015) from University of Wyoming, USA.
• Postdoctoral experience at the University of Tennessee and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
• Current roles include leading research projects funded by EPSRC, Henry Royce Institute, and UK Catalysis Hub.

His research interests encompass green hydrogen, electrocatalysis, fuel cell innovation, and sustainable energy technologies. He has contributed to the development of precious-metal-free catalysts and low-iridium electrolysers to reduce costs in green hydrogen production.

Dr Regmi has advised 2 PhD students and 2 Postdoctoral Research Associates, and mentored numerous undergraduates. His lab focuses on nanomaterials synthesis and characterization, with a strong emphasis on applications for clean energy.
