His master’s thesis has been adopted as the foundation for hydrogen fueling standards and custody exchange. In 2010, he founded the HYdrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) lab at WSU to increase the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of cryogenic hydrogen systems primarily for clean energy and aerospace applications. Since it’s inception, the HYPER lab has facilitated student teams to place first and second in the 2014 and 2012 International Hydrogen Student Design Competitions, in addition to building the first liquid hydrogen fueled drone within a university. He is the co-founder of Protium Innovations LLC. He is the co-inventor of the Heisenberg Vortex, the world’s first 3D printed liquid cryogen tank, as well as numerous hydrogen refueling station technologies, and is averaging more than one intellectual property filing per year.
