This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research (CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences), supports an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site at the State University of New York at Binghamton. The $426,197 award, effective from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027, integrates undergraduates into interdisciplinary research experiences focused on renewable energy generation and storage. The program aims to stimulate student interest in STEM research, prepare them for careers in science and engineering with a focus on the energy sector, and expand the diversity of students engaged in this work. Students will conduct experimental and computational research to address challenges in reducing solar power costs, harvesting waste energy, enhancing battery performance, and generating alternative fuels. They will also gain exposure to clean energy industry careers, manufacturing, and prototyping through collaborations, facility tours, and workshops with local companies and research centers. No federal grant sub-awards are planned under this award.
