Thomas Trabold is Associate Research Professor and Co-Director of the Center for Sustainable Mobility. He conducts fundamental and applied research in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle propulsion and auxiliary power units (APUs). He also investigates use of biofuels for vehicle propulsion, on-board power generation and stationary applications, including fuel reforming to produce feedstock for fuel cells. Thomas Trabold concentrates on partnering with New York state companies to identify opportunities for energy use reduction and pollution mitigation, through recovery of waste heat, waste-to-energy conversion processes (including anaerobic digesters) and separation processes. He also advises Ph.D. and undergraduate co-op students pursuing degrees in the Golisano Institute for Sustainability, and engineering departments. Thomas Trabold has been contributing to formulation of multi-year research plans within the Center for Sustainable Mobility and New York State Pollution Prevention Institute.
