P4 Karin Stehllik 01 01 

“Invitation to the World Hydrogen Technology Convention 2017 in Prague”

Dr Ing Karin Stehlík | Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform

Ms. Karin Stehlík, née Liegl, received her master’s degree at the Technical University in Munich in mechanical engineering. Her Ph.D. thesis dealt with the degradation of high-temperature fuel cells. Now she works at CVŘ as a project manager for research in hydrogen technologies, focusing on high-temperature electrolysis. CVR is a member of the Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP) implemented in 2006.At HYTEP she is coordinating communication with partners from Europe. Ms. Stehlík is an alternate representative to SRG FCH JU (state representative group) within European Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint undertaking. Her interest in hydrogen technologies started already during study times in the 1990ies, when human influence on climate changes and the related risks where discussed and finally led to the Kyoto protocol in 1997.
