BNL Profile

Brookhaven Today (18 March, 2012): New Catalyst for Safe, Reversible Hydrogen Storage
 

Thermal, Photo- and Radiation-Induced Reactions in Condensed Media

Dr. Jonathan F. Hull received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Yale University in 2009 under Professors Robert H. Crabtree and Gary W. Brudvig, where he developed bio-inspired catalysts for hydrocarbon oxidation and artificial photosynthesis. He completed his postdoctoral research under Professor Thomas J. Meyer in physical inorganic chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He joined BNL in the fall of 2010 after receiving the Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowship, and explores strategies for storing and creating renewable energy in conjunction with Drs. Etsuko Fujita and Jim Muckerman. He is also a participant in the Japan-U.S. Collaboration on Clean Energy in conjunction with Dr. Yuichiro Himeda at the National Institute for Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Japan. Recent highlights for this collaboration can be found by searching the BNL homepage.
