Fuel Cell Technology Handbook

Dr. Gregor Hoogers is a full-time professor at Trier University of Applied Sciences, Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld. After receiving his master’s degree in physics from the Technical University of Aachen in 1990 for research on chemical sensors with C.D. Kohl, he joined the Debye Institute, Utrecht, as a postgraduate fellow working on base metal oxidation with R Habraken. Subsequently, he studied elementary catalytic surface processes in D.A. King’s group at Cambridge, U.K., from which he received his Ph.D. in 1994. From 1995 until 1999, he worked at Johnson Matthey Technology Centre, Reading, U.K., where his main interest was in the interaction of fuel processor, cleanup, and fuel cell and where, as principal scientist, he was in charge of anode technology for fuel cells. In October 1999, he was appointed professor for hydrogen technology and fuel cells! renewable energy at Trier University Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld, where he became head of department in 2001. He is the author of 25 papers and a number of patents. In 2001, he received the Innovation Prize of Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany) for developing cost-effective bipolar plates.
