Program Manager
Research Operations
Daniel Bullock is a program manager in the clean and renewable energy group. He joined HARC in July 2002 and is responsible for directing the new U.S. Department of Energy-funded Gulf Coast Combined Heat and Power Regional Application Center and is also Program Manager for the Center for Fuel Cell Research and Applications.
Dan has over fifteen years experience in research, engineering, operations, and sales through experience with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, IBM East Fishkill facility, Advanced Micro Devices, and a number of technology start-up companies in the energy, display, and microelectronics industries. He focuses on development and commercialization of emerging technologies, especially in the electronic materials, micro-fabrication, and clean energy space. He has extensive background in materials science and process engineering, with a specialization in ultra high vacuum processing and thin film deposition techniques. He has process expertise in integrated circuit fabrication, especially with regard to micro-fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) devices and processing techniques. He led or has been involved in a number of MEMS product development efforts in multichip modules, wafer bumping, and fuel cells. He is founder and president of Austin Microsystems, a developer of micro fuel cells based in Austin, Texas.
After working in semiconductors for a number of years, Dan migrated his efforts to focus in the clean energy space. In graduate school, he worked on load and demand side management techniques and utility programs, and worked with the Lower Colorado River Authority to analyze the benefits of actively managing peak electricity demand through remote control of customer air conditioners. After graduate school, he joined the team that developed the Delaware Mountain Windplant, the first utility scale wind farm in Texas. He has experience in energy policy analysis and development from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT Austin and through brief appointments as an assistant to the Commissioner of the Railroad Commission of Texas and in the Energy and Transportation Directorates of the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium.
His most recent work is focused on development and commercialization of fuel cells and other advanced clean energy technologies. Dan graduated with distinction in solid state physics from Pennsylvania State University, and holds advanced degrees from the University of Texas at Austin in both engineering and public administration.
Married with three children, Dan and his wife Dorit live in the Woodlands, Texas.
