Common Reading lecture: Jacob Leachman on hydrogen technology 9-19-18

About the event

Learn about hydrogen as a practical and sustainable energy source at a Washington State University Common Reading lecture titled “The HOW of a hydrogen organized Washington (and World!)” presented by Jacob Leachman.

Leachman is an associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering, and director WSU’s Hydrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) Lab.

At the Common Reading lecture, Leachman will discuss what the HYPER team is currently studying and how hydrogen can increase the value of renewable energy. He will cover four challenges the HYPER lab looks to solve and their impacts on the future.

First-year and other WSU students are reading the common book, Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That’ll Improve and/or Ruin Everything in several classes. The Common Reading Program organizes extracurricular guest-expert lectures and programming related to topics raised in the book. This year, a focus is on new technologies being developed at WSU across all disciplines.
