Professor Yury Gogotsi

Since 2012, the National Academy of Inventors, a nonprofit organization founded and dedicated to encouraging academic inventors with U.S. patents, has inducted a yearly class of fellows into the organization. “The NAI Fellows Program was established to highlight academic inventors who have demonstrated a prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding invention that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development, and the welfare of society. Election to NAI Fellow status is the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.” (From the NAI Fellows Program website.)

With more than 190 patent applications filed and more than 70 issued patents, over 30 of which have been licensed to industry, Prof. Gogotsi is certainly worthy of this esteemed accolade. He thanks his nominators, co-inventors, and companies that acquired licenses for using his patented carbon and MXene materials and technologies for their support in reaching this honor. (more…)

Register for discussion with Tu Le on July 12, 2023 

The ECS Detroit Section invites you to “The global EV market: Driving Force for Battery Technology for the Next Decade,” a discussion with global auto industry expert Tu Le.

Topics

There is high interest in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology in our community, but the local perspective should be enriched by global views to lead to good outcomes. 

Tu Le will discuss the EV market from major developments to less visible but very important details. To what extent will Chinese EVs be in the U.S. market in the future? What does it have to do with the latest Gigafactory announcements? What will original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have to do better in Asian markets? What batteries will have to be manufactured?

Student poster awards

Students are encouraged to present posters. Up to three posters will be presented at the event. The first three students contacting the section at ecs.detroit.rsvp@gmail.com about presenting their work receive USD $100 and one year of free access to ECS Detroit Section events.
