Dr. Nathan Weiland is a Senior Fellow at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), where he works to build and sustain a world-class competencies in energy conversion engineering and hydrogen production & utilization. From 2014 to 2020 he was a research engineer in NETL’s Systems Engineering & Analysis group, where he performed systems studies of supercritical CO2 power cycles and oxy-fuel magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) power plants. Dr. Weiland’s prior work with NETL as a postdoctoral student (2005-2008) and a West Virginia University research professor (2008-2014) included low-NOx hydrogen combustion, coal/biomass co-gasification, ash deposition processes in gasification systems, oxy-combustion plasmas for MHD power, and chemical looping combustion. He has received a B.S. (Purdue University), M.S., and Ph.D. (Georgia Tech) in Mechanical Engineering.
