Timothee Pourpoint Adjusts Valves

Caption

Timothee Pourpoint, a senior research scientist in Purdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, adjusts valves needed to direct the flow of hydrogen and nitrogen in a bulk high-pressure hydrogen storage and feed system at the university's Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories. The system is critical for research to develop a new hydrogen storage system for cars and for NASA-funded research related to the J-2X rocket engine for future missions to Mars and the moon.
