Dr. Parish, a luminary in computational science, emphasized the importance of AI in exploring molecular possibilities for efficient hydrogen storage. Reflecting on the role of AI, Dr. Parish noted, “AI is a really useful tool and can certainly help scientists solve our energy problems.” She emphasized the importance of AI in exploring molecular candidates and optimizing structures for efficient hydrogen storage.

Additionally, Dr. Parish shed light on the intersection of renewable energy, data centers, and hydrogen storage. She emphasized that “our demand for energy and electricity is not going away.” She discussed the potential synergy between renewable energy and green hydrogen storage as a promising path to efficiently addressing the energy needs of data center expansion.

The podcast concluded with insights into Dr. Parish’s research into organic-based radical molecules for the design of environmentally friendly batteries. Her expertise in computational chemistry, combined with her ongoing projects, exemplified the role of computational science in promoting sustainable energy solutions.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into the complex relationship between artificial intelligence, computational science, and renewable energy, which places Dr. Carol Parish’s work at the forefront of innovative solutions for a greener future.

Carol Parish received her Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Purdue University. Dr. Parish is the Floyd D. and Elisabeth S. Gottwald Professor of Chemistry and Vice Provost for Academic Integration at the University of Richmond. She specializes in data analysis and computational simulations that provide atomistic insight into important problems in the design of drugs, sensors, alternative energy sources, and CO₂ capture. She has mentored over 110 undergraduate students, authored 70 scientific publications, and raised over $4 million in research funding from the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, American Chemical Society, Jeffress and Dreyfus Foundations. She is co-editor of the two-volume series Physical Chemistry Research at Undergraduate Institutions published by the American Chemical Society. She has received awards for her work, including the 2019 American Chemical Society Award for Undergraduate Research, the 2018 State Council in Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) Outstanding Faculty Award, the University of Richmond Distinguished Educator Award, and the Stanley Israel ACS Award for Promoting Diversity in the Chemical Sciences. In 2012, she received a Fulbright Fellowship for research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She co-founded the Integrated and Inclusive Science (IIS) program at the University of Richmond. IIS is focused on supporting all students in their pursuit of scientific excellence; particularly students who have historically received little support. She also co-founded the MERCURY Supercomputer Consortium, which has trained hundreds of students in computational science and mentored over 50 faculty members. Dr. Parish currently serves as Associate Vice Provost for Academic Integration, where she is responsible for supporting programs in data science/data analytics, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and integrated learning. She supports the Quantitative Resource Center, Academic Advising Resource Center, Speech Center, Writing Center, Technology Learning Center, and English Language Learning Center, and coordinates academic program review for departments and programs across the University.

About NewHydrogen, Inc.

NewHydrogen develops ThermoLoop^™ – a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat instead of electricity to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen. Hydrogen is the purest and most abundant element in the universe, and we can’t live without it. Hydrogen is a key ingredient in making the fertilizers needed to grow food for the world. It’s also used for transportation, oil refining, and steel, glass, pharmaceuticals, and more. Almost all hydrogen today is made from hydrocarbons like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are dirty and finite resources. Water, on the other hand, is an infinite and renewable resource worldwide.

The most common method of producing green hydrogen today is to split water into oxygen and hydrogen using an electrolyzer using green electricity generated from the sun or wind. However, green electricity is and will always be very expensive. It currently accounts for 73% of the cost of green hydrogen. By using heat directly, we can bypass the expensive electricity generation process and substantially reduce the cost of green hydrogen. Inexpensive heat can be extracted from concentrated solar, geothermal, nuclear reactors, and industrial waste heat for use in our novel, low-cost thermochemical water splitting process. Working with a world-class research team at UC Santa Barbara, our goal is to help launch a green hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimates will be worth $12 trillion in the future.
