UC Irvine Tribute to Scott Samuelsen

Scott Samuelsen is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering who oversaw the creation of UCI's hydrogen fueling station -- the most technologically advanced, publicly accessible such facility in the world. Samuelsen directs the Advanced Power & Energy Program, which encompasses the National Fuel Cell Research Center, the UCI Combustion Laboratory and the Pacific Rim Consortium on Energy, Combustion & the Environment. His research focuses on energy generation, distribution and utilization, including the production of electricity, motive power and propulsive power from fuel cells, gas turbines and hybrids of both. He also explores the environmental impact of these energy systems, the dynamic between energy generation and atmospheric quality, and the development of environmentally preferred, high-efficiency energy generation integrated into buildings and complexes.
