Devin Walker

Devin is the CEO of T2C-Energy.  His background includes over 14 years industrial experience processing hydrocarbon fuels from biomass, bio-oils, landfill gas, biogas, and natural gas to create commercial and military grade fuels such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and navy distillate.  After graduating from University of Florida with a bachelor's in biochemistry, Devin began his career as a scientist researching and designing advanced alternative fuels in the private sector.  In 2010 he helped develop and implement with ARA Inc. a pilot and demonstration scale technology for the conversion of plant and algae oils to produce over 150k gallons of drop-in jet fuel and diesel for the US Air Force and Navy (allowing for the first 100% renewable jet fuel test flight by the Air Force).  After earning his MS in chemical engineering from University of South Florida he worked with BASF to provide Fluid Cracking Catalyst to the refining industry.  Over the years Devin developed a passion for finding efficient, novel, and feasible solutions to the world's energy problems and was recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of the top "30 under 30" in Energy and Industry in 2014.

Dr. Kuhn is the Executive Vice President of Research and Development at T2C-Energy and is an expert on catalysis and reaction engineering.  After his B.S. at the University of Dayton, he completed his Ph.D at Ohio State University. After a stint conducting post-doctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, he joined the faculty at the University of South Florida (USF). He is the author or coauthor of over 50 papers/reviews including 4 recent invited contributions. Over the past ten years, he has been active in catalysis, alternative fuels, reactor design, and environmental research. His current focus is on the development of active and stable catalysts for the reforming of hydrocarbons present in biogas and biomass-derived syngas. 

Dr. Joseph is the Chief Technology Officer at T2C-Energy and is a Professor and the former Chair of the department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.  He is a pioneer in the fields of process simulation and controls.  While teaching at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Babu was one of the leading contributors for the Aspen process modeling software.  Aspen is currently the standard in commercial process modeling.  He has made several contributions to process controls including authoring a text book widely used in universities today.  In addition to MIT, he taught at UC-Berkeley and Washington University in St. Louis prior to joining USF.  He has published three books and over 200 scientific articles. Babu Joseph has also published texts widely used by students pursuing their education in Chemical Engineering, these texts include Techniques of Model Based Control (Brosilow and Joseph) and Wavelet Applications in Chemical Engineering (Motard and Joseph).
