Vladimir Koritarov is the Manager of the CEESA Power Systems group in Argonne National Laboratory’s Energy Systems division. The group provides analytical services on strategic energy and environmental issues to government agencies, international organizations, and private institutions around the world. He is also a Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC). Koritarov has over 30 years of experience in the analysis and modeling of electric and energy systems in domestic and international applications. Currently, he serves as Argonne’s Program Manager for Water Power Program, which includes hydropower and marine and hydrokinetic technologies.
Most recently, Koritarov has been working on the development of new agent-based modeling approaches for the simulation of energy and electricity markets, and applying advanced simulation methods to study the role and possible evolution of non-conventional energy resources, such as renewable generation and energy storage.
He is a principal mechanical engineer and manager of Fuels, Engine, and Aftertreatment Research at Argonne National Laboratory’s Center for Transportation Research. In this role, he and his team plan, analyze, and execute powertrain and combustion research projects in light-duty, heavy-duty, and non-road applications, including marine and UAV, and employing a range of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, hydrogen and natural gas, and alcohols. Much of the work involves close collaboration with major manufacturers in these market segments.
He is a staff scientist and facility director at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Molecular Foundry leading research in thermoelectrics and hydrogen storage. His research focuses on the materials and physics of mass, heat, and charge transport in complex hybrid nanomaterials. His expertise is developing new materials and measurement tools for solid-state energy storage and conversion applications; investigating transport at the organic-inorganic interface; and identifying energy efficient desalination methods.

During his 30-year employment with Battelle, he contributed as an engineer, principal investigator, and project/program manager for projects supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and co-led Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) internal initiative in Micro- and Meso-channel Process Technology (MMPT). The advantages of MMPT are especially recognized in the chemical engineering profession and led to an international conference (The International Microreaction Technology [IMRET] Conference), which is held on a regular basis on alternating continents. He was one of the original organizers of this conference. He is a Battelle Distinguished Inventor, holding 175 patents (34 U.S. and 141 foreign) with others still pending. His MMPT work received three R&D 100 Awards, including one in 2014 for the Solar Thermochemical Advanced Reactor System (STARS). Also, he was part of a team that received the 2001 National Laboratory Fuel Cell R&D Award from DOE. This body of work led to the development of multiple spin-off companies and the establishment of the joint PNNL-Oregon State University Microproducts Breakthrough Institute in Corvallis, Oregon. He is currently leading efforts at Battelle to develop solar thermochemical hardware and systems that use solar energy to drive moderate- to high-temperature endothermic chemical reactions. Most recently, under his direction, PNNL has advanced the STARS technology to Technology Readiness Level 5 with on-sun demonstrations achieving a peak solar to chemical energy conversion efficiency of 69%, a world record.
He has over 30 years of experience in the materials science field. Since joining Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 1993, his work focused primarily on the development and characterization of electrical ceramic materials and the development of fabrication techniques for devices based on those materials, including solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and gas separation membranes.
