Walton, Allan - University of Birmingham - School of Metallurgy and Materials

个人简介

Allan Walton qualified with a BSc in Materials Science at the University of Birmingham in 1997. He went on to study a PhD on the corrosion protection of Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets (qualified 2002) where he helped develop a zinc alloy coating process called Low Pressure Pack Sublimation which was patented by the University. After becoming a research associate on corrosion studies for NdFeB permanent magnets he was employed as a research fellow studying solid state hydrogen storage materials at the University of Birmingham. Dr Walton has worked on five multi-disciplinary research projects including: 2001-2003 EU Framework 5 grant (FUCHSIA – Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Stores for Integration into Automobiles). 2003-2005 Carbon Trust R&D project (The Safe Efficient and Economic Large Scale Storage of Hydrogen). 2005-2006 NERC project (A whole System Approach for Analyzing Bio-Energy Demand and Supply). 2006-2009 EU Framework 6 Project (NESSHY – Novel Efficient Solid Storage for Hydrogen).
