George Bollas, a professor in the College of Engineering and IMS faculty member, has been named a 2024-2025 Fulbright Scholar.  George, one of five UConn faculty to receive the honor, will be performing research in Greece to investigate the end-to-end feasibility of ammonia as a fuel for the difficult-to-decarbonize transportation sectors.  A second focus area of George’s research will be on ammonia cracking and power generation in fuel cells.

Fulbright Scholars are faculty, researchers, administrators, and established professionals teaching or conducting research in affiliation with institutes abroad. Fulbright Scholars engage in cutting-edge research and expand their professional networks, often continuing research collaborations started abroad and laying the groundwork for forging future partnerships between institutions.

Upon returning to their home countries, institutions, labs, and classrooms, they share their stories and often become active supporters of international exchange, inviting foreign scholars to campus and encouraging colleagues and students to go abroad.
