Anbo Wang, Virginia Tech (IMAGE) Virginia Tech Caption Anbo Wang directs the Center for Photonics Technology at Virginia Tech, which has received DOE funding to develop sensors to insure the efficient operation of advanced, zero-emission power systems and existing power plants, and to monitor materials that line the walls in gasifiers. The Electric Power Research Institute is funding a new four-year study, asking the photonics center to investigate the validity of two approaches to monitoring and detecting hydrogen and acetylene gas in transformers.
