Dr. Neel Sirosh is the CTO of H2MOF and has over 25 years of experience in hydrogen systems and clean energy research and development, product design, regulatory certification, manufacturing scale-up, and commercialization. He has significantly contributed to the development of key hydrogen storage system technologies for pioneering hydrogen fuel cell applications by Daimler, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Suzuki, and NASA/AeroVironment.
Dr. Sirosh has served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Hydria/CATEC Gases, an Apollo Global company, where he developed and scaled up large format hydrogen transport systems. Additionally, he led the Hydrogen Storage division at Universal Hydrogen, a startup founded by the former CTO of Airbus and funded by Airbus, JetBlue, and others. As a founding executive at Quantum Technologies, a pioneer in hydrogen storage systems, he served as their CTO for eight years during his 17-year tenure. He also held the position of Vice President/General Manager at LightSail Energy, a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) startup funded by Bill Gates, Khosla Ventures, Total Energy (France) and Peter Thiel, where he developed and obtained US DOT special permit and ASME certification for high-capacity gas storage systems.
Dr. Sirosh holds several patents on gas storage systems and published or presented over 40 papers and contributed to three books on hydrogen storage.”
Dr. Sirosh has been a member of the Advisory Council for Alternative Energy at CSA International and has contributed to the development of hydrogen standards by CSA, ASME, NFPA, and ISO. He holds several patents on gas storage systems and has published or presented over 40 papers and contributed to three books on hydrogen storage.
Dr. Sirosh earned a PhD in Engineering (Finite Elements) from the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary, Canada, and an Executive MBA from the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine.
As the CTO of H2MOF, Dr. Sirosh leads the development and commercialization of advanced hydrogen storage solutions, leveraging his extensive expertise in hydrogen systems and clean energy technologies. His leadership is instrumental in advancing H2MOF’s mission to address the hydrogen storage challenge using novel nano-engineered reticular materials.
