Dr Justus Masa We recently met with FlowPhotoChem PI Dr Justus Masa of Kyambogo University in Uganda for a short interview. The core research of Dr Masa is in electrocatalysis and energy conversion, with a focus on the rational design of advanced low-cost catalysts and electrode materials for electrochemical energy systems. Please tell us a bit about yourself and your research career in electrocatalysis. I grew up in a remote mountainous village in Eastern Uganda, Buginyanya Sub-county in Bulambuli district. At the time, the village was without running water, electricity, and no paved roads. Today, there is electricity, still [...]
