Nanotechnology promises to enable critical applications for the electric power industry. Recently, the Electric Power Research Institute has been reviewing the possibilities, assessing the relative importance of nanotechnology in a number of different areas, and evaluating its role in the development and implementation of identified nanotechnology applications. Brief summaries that describe the potential benefits to the electric power industry of the application of a number of areas of nanotechnology will be presented.
Stan Rosinski has over 20 years of experience in the field of energy technology and the resolution of materials issues in the electric power industry. In his current position, he is responsible for incubating technology innovation within EPRI by directing fundamental, innovative, and crosscutting R&D to accelerate the development and application of advanced science and technology throughout the electricity enterprise. Mr. Rosinski’s specific areas of expertise include the identification, planning, and technical management of materials-related R&D and major component integrity assessment.
Prior to joining EPRI in 1995, Stan was a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, where he was responsible for the resolution of light water reactor (LWR) materials-related issues. He also served as chief metallurgical consultant for the DOE Office of LWR Safety & Technology.
Mr. Rosinski received a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a Master’s degree in metallurgy from the University of Nebraska.
