Dr. Borislav Bogdanovic was honored for his leadership and innovation in hydrogen and heat storage research for over 25 years. He spanned the fields of chemistry and materials science with his research and laid groundwork for engineering new devices. Dr. Bodanovic is most noted for his breakthrough discovery of low temperature reversible hydrogen storage in sodium alanate with titanium dopants in the late 1990s. His education includes studies in chemistry at Belgrade from 1953-59 and PhD work at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (Mulheim) from 1960-62. Throughout 1974-1997, Dr. Bodanovic taught at various universities in Italy, France, and Germany, and he served as the head of the Catalysis Research Group in the MPI (Mülheim) from 1974 to1999. After retirement, he has continued to work as a consultant in the MPI in the area of hydrogen storage.
