Ultimate secure ID card of the future

Hi! I’m Sumeet Jain, I am a Chemical Engineer at GE Global Research and I lead a multidisciplinary team working on a new class of thermo-plastic based volume holographic materials for Secure Cards & IDs like Driver’s licenses and passports, Credit cards and Employee badges. This technology is being developed as a shared vision program between GE Global Research and SABIC Innovative Plastics. The unique attribute of the GE-SABIC IP holographic material is that it can be processed like a conventional plastic and the holograms are recorded within the holographic material. The holographic materials can be laminated within the card itself, making it virtually impossible for a card to be altered.

2009 NASA/C3P International Workshop On Environment and Alternative Energy

Last week we hosted the 2009 International Workshop on Environment and Alternative Energy at GE Global Research Europe. This workshop is a yearly event organized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Center for Pollution Prevention (C3P). The workshop program included presentations and breakout sessions on alternative energy topics and technological solutions (from R&D to commercial) with a focus on collaborations. It was the first time that this workshop was held in Munich and was a great success with more than 90 participants from multiple industries, research centers, and both U.S. and German universities.

Wearable RFID Sensors to Detect Airborne Toxins

Hello Earth!

When we received a notification from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) about the award for our proposal “Wearable Organic Electronic Film RFID Sensors for Monitoring of Airborne Toxicants”, our team was excited as never before – for the recognition of our idea by NIEHS, for the job well done during the proposal writing, and for this new two-year program that we wanted to launch ASAP.

Emissions Aftertreatment Symposium at GE

I’m a chemist in the Chemical Technologies and Materials Characterization organization at GE Global Research. I work in the area of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and on capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) to mitigate global warning. Recently, I was involved with the planning of an Emissions Aftertreatment Symposium, which took place here at Global Research in September 2009. We hosted external speakers that are experts in the field of emissions regulations and technology and had a full day of presentations exploring some of these topics.

Honoring our veterans and our friends

Hey Everyone. I just wanted to mention that Justin Brumberg, one of our Pulse Detonation researchers, is featured on GE Reports as he describes his experiences during his deployment in Iraq. Staff Sergeant Brumberg served with the 458th Engineering Battalion in Camp Liberty, Baghdad, Iraq as the Maintenance Shop Supervisor for the Charlie Company motorpool.
