Subhash C. Singhal is presently a Battelle Fellow Emeritus at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). From 1971 to 2000, he worked at Siemens Power Generation (formerly Westinghouse Electric Corporation), where he conducted and/or managed major research, development, and demonstration programs for various energy conversion systems.
From 1984 to 2000, he was manager of Fuel Cell Technology there, responsible for the development of solid oxide fuel cells for stationary power generation. From 2000 to 2013, he was at PNNL as a Battelle Fellow and Director-Fuel Cells, and provided senior technical, managerial, and commercialization leadership to the Laboratory’s extensive fuel cell programs.
Dr. Singhal is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the Washington State Academy of Sciences; a Fellow of four professional societies (American Ceramic Society, The Electrochemical Society, ASM International, and American Association for the Advancement of Science); and a senior member of the Mineral, Metals & Materials Society (TMS). He serves on the Editorial Boards of several scientific journals, Advisory Boards of several universities and institutes, and on many national and international advisory panels. He also served on ECS’s Board of Directors during 1992-1994 and continues as the Chairman of its International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells held biennially since 1989.
Dr. Singhal has received many awards including the Outstanding Achievement Award in High Temperature Materials of the Electrochemical Society, the Edward Orton Jr. Memorial Award of the American Ceramic Society, Invited Professorship Award from the Japan Ministry of Science, Education and Culture, Christian Friedrich Schoenbein Gold Medal of the European Fuel Cell Forum, the Fuel Cell Seminar Award, and the prestigious Grove Medal for sustained advances in fuel cell technology.
