Mr. Elliot Kennel has been with WVU’s Chemical Engineering Department since 2002.
Current research interests include development of carbon products from coal-derived precursors, carbon nanomaterial production from coal derived precursors, and other ways to develop value added products from coal. Prior to coming to WVU, he was Vice President and Director of Research at Applied Sciences Inc. in Cedarville Ohio, where he specialized in carbon nanofibers, and helped to develop one of the first commercial production lines for tonnage quantities of carbon nanomaterials. Prior to that, Mr. Kennel worked for the United States Air Force as a military officer from 1980 to 1984 and as a civilian employee from 1984 to 1990 as a specialist in thermionic energy conversion and high temperature materials. He was involved in research for the Strategic Defense Initiative, and participated in technology exchange projects with the former Soviet Union.
