Gideon GRADER

PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. His research includes the synthesis and processing of ceramics and hydrogen generation by water splitting. Recent work involves under-standing the formation mechanism of ceramic nanofibers with special architecture, including porous, hollow and ribbon morphologies. In the hydrogen space, he works on efficient, decoupled membrane-free electrochemical water splitting using auxiliary ceramic electrodes that allow separation of H2 and O2 evolution in time and space. He looks at ways to increase process performance by using large surface area, nanofiber electrodes. His work has been published in key journals including Nature Materials, Nature Energy and Advanced Functional materials. The new water splitting process has received the Horizon RSC prize (2022), the Israel Prime Minister Samson prize (2021) and the Shell New Energy Challenge prize (2020). Prof Gideon Grader founded and headed the Grand Technion Energy program (GTEP) 2007-2015, was a dean of the Chemical Engineering Department (2016-2019), and is a Co-Founder of H2Pro (2018).
