About:
Hall is the program lead for the undergraduate energy engineering program and a fixed-term assistant professor of energy and mineral engineering who joined Penn State in 2016. He earned his B.S. in energy engineering and a Ph.D. in energy and mineral engineering from Penn State. Hall has authored or co-authored fourteen refereed journal papers, nineteen international conference papers and five industry technical reports. He is a member of The Electrochemical Society and served on two expert panels for corrosion protection of powerplant water cycles.
Research Interests:
• Electrochemical energy conversion and electrochemical energy storage
• Elevated temperature and pressure electrochemical sensors
• Corrosion and surface chemistry in extreme environments
• Thermodynamics of aqueous systems and thermochemical cycles
