Prof. Lior Elbaz has a BSc, MSc and PhD in Chemical Engineering. During his graduate studies, he became an expert in electrochemistry and electrocatalysis. After finishing his PhD, he joined the Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM, USA, where he developed new catalysts and advanced materials for fuel cells, to reduce their price and increase their durability. After almost four years at Los Alamos, Lior came back to Israel to take a position at the Department of Chemistry, Bar-Ilan University. After his return to Israel, Lior established and the Israeli Fuel Cells Consortium (IFCC), composed of 12 leading Israeli labs. Lior just returned from a sabbatical at the Los Alamos National Lab, US. Lior is also the official representative of the Israeli Ministry of Energy to the International Energy Agency’s Executive Committee for Advanced Fuel Cells. He has very strong ties with the Israeli energy sector and works closely with several large companies in Israel to implement hydrogen technologies in UAVs, cars, and large energy storage
