Plamen Atanassov grew up in Bulgaria and graduated from the University of
Sofia in 1987 specializing in Chemical Physics and Theoretical Chemistry.
He joined the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and become a Member of
Technical Staff of its Central Laboratory of Electrochemical Power Sources
(now the Institute for Electrochemistry and Power Systems). His initial
work included materials solutions for metal-air batteries. During 1988/89,
Plamen Atanassov was a visiting scientist in the Frumkin's Institute of
Electrochemistry, Moscow, Russia studying bio-electrochemistry of enzymes.
He received his doctorate from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in
Physical Chemistry, specializing in Electrochemistry under the guidance of
Prof. Ilia Iliev and Prof. Evgeni Budevski.

Plamen Atanassov moved to the United States in 1992 and later became a
research faculty with the University of New Mexico. During this period he
was involved in development of a several electrochemical biosensor
technologies for biomedical, environmental food safety and defense
applications. In 1999 Plamen Atanassov joined Superior MicroPowders LLC
(now Cabot-SMP) were he was a project leader in fuel cell electrocatalysts
development. He returned to the University of New Mexico in 2000 as faculty
member of the Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Department.

In October 2007 Plamen Atanassov founded the UNM Center for Emerging Energy
Technologies and was its Director till December 2011. Prior to that Plamen
Atanassov was UNM Director for the NSF Industry/University Collaborative
Research Center. He was the PI on AFOSR MURI "Fundamentals and
Bioengineering of Enzymatic Fuel Cells", which includes faculty from
Columbia University, Northeastern University, Michigan State University,
St. Louis University and University of Hawaii. Plamen Atanassov is
currently the PI of the New Mexico DOE EPSCoR Implementation Award
"Materials for Energy Conversion", a concerted effort of UNM, New Mexico
Tech, New Mexico State and Eastern New Mexico Universities. He has standing
collaborations with scientists from LANL, SNL, NREL, ANL, ORNL, LBNL and
funded programs with industrial partners such as: Toyota/Daihatsu, Ballard,
Sharp, Cabot, IRD, CFDRC and Lynntech. Plamen Atanassov 's research
programs include development of non-platinum electrocatalyst for fuel
cells, new materials and technologies for micro-power sources, enzymatic
bio-fuel cells, sensor systems design and integration of micro-analytical
systems. Starting January 2012 Plamen Atanassov serves as an Associate Dean
for Research of the UNM School of Engineering.
