Bernard Dam is an Emeritus Professor at Delft University of Technology, specializing in hydrogen technology and materials for the hydrogen economy. His research interests include relations between growth and (defect) structure in physical properties of materials. He currently investigates metal hydride based hydrogen sensors and chemochromic thin films for hydride-based solid-state electrolytes. He traces his academic background to Radboud University Nijmegen, where he received his PhD in 1986 for his thesis on incommensurately modulated crystals. He later worked on High-Tc superconductivity at Philips Research Labs and extended his research on metal hydride thin films at VU University Amsterdam. During his tenure, he developed a combinatorial screening technique known as 'Hydrogenography' for material discovery. His contributions to the field include serving as co-chair for notable conferences and participating in various advisory and management positions, including the scientific director role at Advanced Dutch Energy Materials. Dam is recognized for advancing research in hydrogen technology, particularly for its applications in sustainable energy solutions.
