Joint winners: 2023 EES Lectureship
Hanna Breunig and Dongliang Chao
For outstanding emerging investigators working in an energy research topic within the scope of the journal Energy and Environmental Science.
Dr Hanna Breunig
is a Research Scientist and Deputy-Head of the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Systems Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her group focuses on process design, modelling, and systems analysis of low Technology Readiness Level energy systems including hydrogen, energy storage, and negative emissions technologies.
Since 2022, Hanna has acted as co-director of the multi-lab United States Department of Energy Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC), where she works closely with teams conducting material discovery and characterization to accelerate the selection and development of material-based storage solutions that can compliment or outcompete compressed and liquid hydrogen storage. She received her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering (2015).
