About Colleen
Born in Alberta, Canada, and having grown up in Largo, FL, Colleen Spiegel is a successful freelance engineer and innovator with over 8 years of experience in the field. She currently works with companies such as McGraw-Hill, Constellation Technology and BCC Research, and is currently involved in the design of revolutionary fuel cell technology.
She is a leader in the fuel cell industry, and is the author of titles like ‘Designing and Building Fuel Cells’ (McGraw-Hill), ‘PEM Fuel Cell Modeling and Simulation Using MATLAB’ as well as ‘Opportunities for Coal-Based Products’ (BCC Research) and Global Electronics: High Growth Products and New Markets (BCC Research), and she has also produced many technical documents, SOPs, reports and mathematical models, aiding several different companies.
Don’t Stand For Rubbish.
At the moment, Colleen is working on a number of R&D projects, both professionally and speculatively -- and on a project that has the capability to change the way we view the world. This particular venture sees Colleen put her drive and motivation to the test as she takes an instrumental role in a new fuel cell design, with the goal of producing a cost-effective, mass-produced line of fuel cells.
Recent Projects
Colleen’s three most recent projects, include working with Lynntech, BCC Research and Elseveier Science, have seen her make use of her research skills and expertise with the programming language, MATLAB, to analyze current conditions and predict future changes. She wrote one of her three books, ‘PEM Fuel Cell Modeling and Simulation Using MATLAB’, for Elsevier Science, which discusses the mathematical modeling of fuel cells in great detail.
Her works on fuel cells is full of fact, and free from promotional talk about how they can help society. It’s just detailed information for engineers and technicians who want to learn more about fuel cells.
