Dr. Devinder Mahajan, an Indian-American professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University, has been named to the Class of 2024 SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF).
The TAF program, administered by the SUNY (State University of New York) Research Foundation, provides vital support to faculty inventors and scientists across the SUNY system.
This year, SUNY invested $425,000 in seven groundbreaking projects that aim to revolutionize healthcare, environmental protection, and New York’s high-tech electronics industry. This also included Mahajan’s research, which focuses on developing a single system for storing and releasing blended hydrogen and methane under near-ambient conditions, which was selected for funding due to its transformative potential in energy storage.
Hydrogen, a key component in the transition to sustainable energy, presents significant challenges in terms of efficient storage and release. Mahajan’s innovative system addresses these issues, offering a promising solution for the safe and effective storage of hydrogen on demand. This breakthrough has the potential to significantly impact the energy sector, advancing the development of low-carbon technologies and contributing to the fight against climate change.
The TAF program bridges the gap between research and commercialization, helping researchers like Mahajan bring their innovations to market. The funding will support critical milestones in the development of his technology, including feasibility studies, prototyping, and testing. By demonstrating the commercial viability of these innovations, TAF increases its appeal to potential investors, ultimately driving its widespread adoption.
Mahajan’s impressive career includes over 300 published papers, more than 110 lectures, and 15 patents. He is also serving as the director of the Institute of Gas Innovation and Technology (I-GIT) at Stony Brook University,
He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Innovation Achievement Award from Brookhaven National Laboratory and recognition as a Fulbright Specialist Scholar.
