About Planes, Trains and Automobiles: Future Transportation
Chris Hagen, Director, Energy Systems Lab; Associate Professor, Energy Systems Engineering, OSU-Cascades
Technologies
developed in the Energy Systems Lab at OSU-Cascades may shape
how people and goods are transported in the future.
Join
professor and researcher Chris Hagen for a discussion about innovations in
energy storage and engine technology that are changing how personal and
transport vehicles are powered. He will also explore regulatory and economic
factors that play a role in forecasting future transportation technologies.
Hagen's
research looks at energy conversion, novel transportation fuels, and the
development of sensors for harsh environments. He developed a vehicle-based
natural gas refueling system that led to the creation of a Bend-based company,
OnBoard Dynamics. He launched a second company, Rogue Approach, which is
advancing technology developed in the Energy Systems Lab that enables drones to
fly farther and for longer periods of time.
Hagen was
recognized in 2017 by the Society of Automotive Engineers as one of the
nation’s top young engineering educators.
