The November H2IQ Hour webinar scheduled for November 25, 2024, at 12 p.m. ET will feature innovative initiatives by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the field of hydrogen and technology transfer. The event will commence with a presentation by Tommy Rockward, a staff scientist at LANL, highlighting the successful workforce development initiatives with Tribal Colleges and Universities, particularly Navajo Technical University (NTU). The focus will be on fostering synergy between additive manufacturing and hydrogen fuel cell research. NTU students actively participate in fuel cell research and senior design projects, benefiting from co-advisement for thesis projects and guest lectures coordinated with LANL. Subsequently, Jacob Spendelow, another staff scientist at LANL, will present an overview of the Lab Innovator (L’Innovator) program. Launched in 2017 by the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office in collaboration with U.S. National Laboratories, L’Innovator aims to bridge the gap between laboratory innovations and commercialization. The program brings together commercial entities and national lab researchers to leverage lab-generated inventions and intellectual property (IP) for creating demonstration products and establishing manufacturing processes to ensure commercial viability. The H2IQ Hour webinar will offer two 20-minute live presentations by LANL scientists, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session for engaging with the audience. After the event, a recording will be made available on the website for those unable to attend the live session, providing an opportunity for broader dissemination of the valuable insights shared during the webinar. Participants can expect to gain insights into cutting-edge developments in the field of hydrogen, collaborative initiatives for technology transfer, and the importance of academia-industry partnerships in driving innovation and commercialization.
