Andrew M. Herring is currently an Associate Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at Mines. His research group is involved in fundamental studies and the development of advanced fuel cell components for PEM fuel cells, photo catalytic production of hydrogen from water, and the use of biomass and hydrocarbon thermo-chemical conversion processes for analysis and to produce fuels and chemicals. Thomas Zawodzinski is presently the Governor's Chair in Electrical Energy Storage with a joint appointment at UT-Knoxville and ORNL.
