Professor Paulo Emilio V. de Miranda is a full professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ, and head of the Hydrogen Laboratory at the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for Graduate Studies and Research in Engineering, Coppe/UFRJ. He holds a PhD, MSc, and BSc in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering obtained at UFRJ, and post-doctorate works developed at the Ecole Centrale de Paris and the Université de Paris-Sud, France. He has published more than 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals. He holds 15 patents and has advised several BSc, MSc, and PhD students. Professor de Miranda works on the development of materials, technologies, and devices for the adoption of hydrogen energy. One of his main research lines is on the development of specialty anodes for solid oxide fuel cells that allow the direct utilization of either methane or ethanol as fuels, impeding carbon coking and clogging without any pre-reforming treatment. Another important research line of his is on the development of hybrid electric-hydrogen fuel cell plug-in buses.  He is President of the Brazilian Hydrogen Association, a member of the Board of Directors of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, a Brazilian representative at the International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy, a member of the International Advisory Board of the European Fuel Cell Forum, member of Engie’s International Scientific Council and Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal Materia.
