Dr Antonis Banos

I am Dr Antonios Banos, a research fellow at the Interface Analysis Centre (IAC) specialising in materials research primarily related to uranium-based materials and hydrogen. Working as a PDRA in the IAC since 2017, I am a driven individual with a passion for energy materials and commitment to develop innovation in the energy sector, particularly nuclear energy and hydrogen storage. My research in this area has so far resulted in 22 Journal and 14 conference proceedings articles and 17 conference presentations (h index:13, i-10 index:15). Since October 2021, I have been the technical lead for the HyDUS project (University of Bristol), working under Professor Scott (IAC). This is a major translation project for the nuclear sector that seeks to redirect unwanted depleted-uranium waste to become a useful high-efficiency hydrogen storage material. This technology will be valuable for both fission and fusion energy applications, as well as other intermittent energy sources.
