Progress with Electrochemical Storage (Energy Harvesting & Storage USA 2009)

Dan Steingart is an assistant professor in chemical engineering at the City College of New York, and a founding faculty member of the CUNY Energy Institute. He has created developed printing process for electrochemical energy storage, distributed sensors for large scale electrochemical processes, and power conversion circuitry for wireless sensor nodes in both academic and industrial laboratories. As a co-founder of Wireless Industrial Technologies (WIT) he was the reciepient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR. WIT generated three contracts from the research and development funded by the NSF. As a graduate student at UC Berkeley he was an Intel Scholar, and received a NSF EAPSI grant to study inkjet printing in Japan, the Daniel Cubicicciotti Award from the Electrochemical Society, and a design award from the International Solid States Circuits Conference.

The City College of New York (CCNY), the first college of The City University of New York (CUNY), is a comprehensive teaching, research, and service institution dedicated to accessibility and excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. The Department of Chemical Engineering is comprised of 10 research faculty and over 50 graduate students of diverse backgrounds, and the home department of the CUNY Energy Institute, a new initiative seeded by New York State to address energy concerns across generation, storage and consumption for areas of large population density.
