Energy Research a Top Priority

Energy is among the hot-button topics of our national dialogue.  It is also the research focus for a number of faculty members, whose research ranges from batteries and fuel cells to nuclear storage and solar energy conversion. Faculty members and graduate students spend hours in labs testing and recording results, supported by grants that enable year-round research both on campus and at top facilities around the world.
