Dr. Imre Gyuk

After taking a B.S. from Fordham University, Dr. Gyuk did graduate work
at Brown University where he was research assistant to Nobel Laureate
Leon Cooper working on superconductivity. Having received a Ph.D. in
Theoretical Physics from Purdue University, he became a Research
Associate at Syracuse. As an Assistant Professor he taught Physics,
Civil Engineering and Environmental Architecture at the University of
Wisconsin. Research interests included the theory of elementary
particles, metallurgy of non-stoichiometric alloys, non-linear
groundwater flow, and architectural design using renewable energy and
passive solar techniques. Dr. Gyuk became an Associate Professor in the
Department of Physics at Kuwait University where he organized an
international Workshop on the Environment of the Arab Gulf, and was a
member of the Emir’s Taskforce on Technology and the Future of Kuwait.
After six years in the Gulf, Dr. Gyuk joined the Department of Energy
to manage the Thermal and Physical Storage program. Later he managed
DOE's research on biological effects of electric and magnetic fields.
Currently he directs the Energy Storage research program of the
Department of Energy which funds work on a wide variety of technologies
such as advanced batteries, flywheels, super-capacitors, and Compressed
Air Energy Storage.
