MMAE Seminar - Dr. Yaroslav Chudnovsky - GTI: Applied R&D Efforts in the Area of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability[Overview and Opportunities for Collaboration]
Armour College of Engineering's Mechanical, Materials & Aerospace Engineering Department will welcome Dr. Yaroslav Chudnovsky, Senior R&D Staff at Gas Technology Institute, on Wednesday, September 28th to present his lecture, GTI: Applied R&D Efforts in the Area of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability [Overview and Opportunities for Collaboration].
Abstract
Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is the leading research, development and training organization addressing energy and environmental challenges to enable a secure, abundant and affordable energy future. For 75 years, GTI has been providing economic value to the natural gas industry and energy markets by developing technology-based solutions for industry, government and consumers. Our research initiatives address issues impacting the natural gas and energy markets across the industry's value chain—supply, delivery and end use. To date, GTI programs have resulted in nearly 500 products, 750 licenses and more than 1,300 associated patents. The presentation will briefly outline the past, ongoing and future efforts where GTI-IIT collaboration may be mutually beneficial.
