Prof.Dr. Ibrahim Dincer receives Canadian Premier's Research Excellence Award


NEAR FUTURE TECHNOLOGY - Hydrogen Fuel cells ( the environmentally friendly energy converter and power generator)

Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Dincer (Department of Mechanical Engineering Istanbul Technical University Istanbul, Turkey ) : designs fuel cells to produce electricity by converting the chemical energy of fuel-hydrogen. ( for example-directly to power in a controlled chemical reaction with oxygen. Because there is no need for combustion or moving parts, fuel cells are ultra clean, highly efficient and very reliable.)

University Fuel Cell Roundup : Dr. Ibrahim Dincer, a professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, has received one of Ontario's highest research honors for his work involving fuel cell technology for automobiles. Dincer is the first UOIT faculty member to receive a Premier's Research Excellence Award, a distinction that brings with it $100,000 in research funding from the province and $50,000 in matching funds from the university. The Premier's Research Excellence Award was developed in 1998 to help Ontario's best researchers attract exceptional graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research associates to their research teams. The program also aims to promote innovation among the finest researchers in the province. (20-Oct-2004, Canada NewsWire)
Dr. Ibrahim Dincer Seeks Solutions to Our Gasoline Addiction
Dr. Ibrahim Dincer hopes one day he can help North Americans break-or at least reduce-their gasoline habit. A Premier’s Research Excellence Award winner, Dr. Dincer has built an international reputation for his research into the practical application of fuel-cell technology in automobiles.

“The concentration of vehicles in urban areas has made air pollution a key environmental issue,” says Dr. Dincer. “Fuel-cell vehicles appear to be a major option to overcome the issues of environmental degradation and energy security.”

Fuel cells produce electricity by converting the chemical energy of fuel-hydrogen, for example-directly to power in a controlled chemical reaction with oxygen. Because there is no need for combustion or moving parts, fuel cells are ultra clean, highly efficient and very reliable.

Dr. Dincer is recruiting a team of highly qualified personnel to assist in his current research project…”
