Nazim Muradov, a principal research scientist at UCF\u2019s Florida Solar Energy Center, was awarded the honorary title of International Association for Hydrogen Energy Fellow at the organization\u2019s 18th biennial World Hydrogen Energy Conference.<\/p>\n
More than 1,000 scientists and decision-makers in politics, finance and research gathered last month in Essen, Germany, for presentations on cutting-edge research on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.<\/p>\n
Muradov has been involved in hydrogen energy research for the past 30 years. He spearheaded U.S. Department of Energy-funded research efforts on the development, patenting and licensing of a novel process for producing hydrogen.\u00a0 Under a NASA contract, he led a research and development program on the local production of hydrogen from renewable resources such as landfill gas and citrus waste.<\/p>\n
Muradov is the author and co-author of 200 publications and 34 patents, and three of his technologies have been licensed to industry.\u00a0 He recently received a patent for a new approach to cleaning up oil spills using carbon materials that can soak the oil up like a sponge. He is planning to collaborate with an industrial partner to determine the commercial potential of the technology.<\/p>\n
Muradov\u2019s areas of focus include hydrogen production, fuel reformers for fuel cells, catalytic solar energy conversion, hydrogen sensors, carbon nanostructures, fossil fuel decarbonization and hydrocarbon processing.<\/p>\n
He is an associate editor of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy<\/em> and a member of the international editorial council of the Processes of Petrochemistry and Oil Refining<\/em>. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy and the Board of Trustees and Scientific Council of the Madrid Institute of Advanced Studies (IMDEA Energia), Spain. He received a University of Central Florida Research Incentive Award in 2003, and he earned UCF\u2019s Distinguished Researcher of the Year Award for institutes and centers in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nazim Muradov, a principal research scientist at UCF\u2019s Florida Solar Energy Center, was awarded the honorary title of International Association for Hydrogen Energy Fellow at the organization\u2019s 18th biennial World Hydrogen Energy Conference.
