LLNL hydrogen researchers win technical program award

DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Office (HFTO) selected Brandon Wood and Tadashi Ogitsu (both MSD) for the 2020 Technical Program Area Award in Hydrogen Fuel R&D. This award recognizes the computational materials science team at LLNL for their exceptional support to the HydroGEN Advanced Water Splitting Materials and Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) consortia efforts. According to the HFTO press release, “their work on understanding interactions at interfaces and coupling models of chemical and physical processes across time- and length-scales, from atomistic to bulk, is not only advancing the state of the art in computational materials science, but also guiding experimental efforts in developing advanced, high-performance materials for hydrogen production through water splitting and hydrogen storage.” The annual awards were announced on September 30, 2020.
