Fellows and Scholars
Senior Fellow
Rob Conrado is an ARPA-E Senior Fellow and is focused on new approaches to produce both liquid fuels and commodity chemicals to reduce the U.S. dependence on imported oil. He is investigating the conversion of natural gas to transportation fuels as well as scale-up of biochemical conversion technologies. Prior to joining ARPA-E, Conrado completed his Ph.D. in Biomolecular and Chemical Engineering at Cornell University, where he worked in Matthew DeLisa’s protein engineering group.
Fellow
Dr. William Regan is an ARPA-E Fellow interested in novel renewable electricity generation and storage technologies. Dr. Regan received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, under the direction of Professor Alex Zettl. He was named an Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS) Foundation Fellow and a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow.
Fellow
Dr. Elizabeth Santori is an ARPA-E fellow, focusing on technologies for improving building efficiency, as well as on solar energy technologies. Dr. Santori completed a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology under Professor Nathan Lewis. Her doctoral research focused on the fabrication and characterization of silicon microwire arrays, an emerging solar energy technology for photovoltaic and artificial photosynthetic devices.
Fellow
Dr. Amul D. Tevar is an ARPA-E Fellow who is working in energy storage, control systems (AMPED) and other emerging energy areas. Before joining the ARPA-E team, Tevar received his Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
Fellow
Dr. Bradley Zamft is an ARPA-E Fellow and an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science & Technology Policy Fellow. He is interested in biological solutions to liquid fuels production, as well as physical and thermodynamic approaches to grid-scale energy storage.
