Historical picture wall from our Oregon lab has a new home in our Berkeley lab. The team made some of the greatest PhD defense advertisement posters ever.

I recently co-founded Firma Power w/Scott Burger & Brent Alderfer, a new venture assembling portfolios of clean resources to deliver firm, load-enabling power to hyperscale data centers and other large loads.
World-class analytics is our edge, and we want YOU to join the team.
ALT Join Firma Power on our journey to commercialize load-enabling clean firm power. See our post for a list of available jobs.

We celebrated my PhD advisor Galen Stucky's career with a new endowed lectureship at UCSB this week. Galen gave the first on his work in blood clotting materials - this led led to products in use today saving lives of our military. give.ucsb.edu/campaigns/6696…

progress in pure-water fed AEMWE from Dr. Shujin Hou
Perspective science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Also, grants supporting the work cancelled... we will find a way to keep working towards H2 production that competes on unsubsidized cost with natural gas.

The GRC Electrochemistry Conference is one of my very favorites. We have not been able to accept any applications into the conference yet per GRC guidelines. We will start making acceptances ASAP in September so folks can firm travel plans. Apply soon! grc.org/electrochemistry-con…

We had a celebration for John Prausnitz yesterday at UC Berkeley and his remarkable contributions to Chemical Engineering. He and his wonderful family (also attending) are kindly endowing a seminar series in the department. Was able to meet some of the other legends too...

Last stop in Europe was the incredible EPFL, hosted by (group alumni!) Dr. Qiucheng Xu and Prof Xile Hu. Saw so many old friends, along with meeting electrochemistry legends Hubert Girault and Michael Grätzel. Lausanne is an remarkable - only wish I had time for a swim.

Leiden is beautiful and with a deep science history, where helium was first liquefied. Also was able to catch Dr Haokun Chen at his job at Brineworks building bipolar membrane elctrolyzers

External "opponent" for PhD defense of Onno van der Heijden promoted by Marc Koper. The Dutch traditions at the defense and ceremony are wonderful. Leiden is a spectacular small city with the intact old architecture still dominating a garden like center built around the canals.

First stop for a quick summer work trip in Europe was at the EMEA conference in Bad Zwischenahn. This is one of the premier gatherings of scientists working on ionomer membranes that are polymer ion conductors for energy conversion devices in electrolysis and fuel cells.

If geologic H2 becomes a reality, it will be a good thing for CO2 emissions free energy and provide more momentum to building out H2 infrastructure. H2 from renewables electrolysis will be cheaper ultimately, but this could be an important step.

Geological resources may be able to provide billions—or even trillions—of metric tons of clean hydrogen, according to estimates from US government researchers. cen.acs.org/energy/hydrogen-…
