The Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE) announced Seed Research Awards for 2024-25. This represents a total investment of over $200,000 by Brown University in early-stage innovative faculty research with the potential to attract significant external funding, and have a broad impact in the area of sustainable energy.

The inaugural Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE) Mini-Symposium was held on Thursday, May 16, 2024. This featured two Invited Talks by our own Profs. Yue Qi and Andrew Peterson (Engineering), together with five presentations, showcasing the ISE Seed projects, by: Profs. Brian Sheldon (Engineering), Shouheng Sun (Chemistry), Brad Marston (Physics), Greg Hirth (DEEPS), and Matthias Kuehne (Physics).

Brown’s culture of collaboration serves as a catalyst for enduring, actionable solutions to today’s most pressing climate, sustainability, and equity challenges – from rising sea levels to the health effects of air pollution.

Prof. Greg Hirth, Professor and Chair of the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences, was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the most prestigious honor societies.

The Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE) is pleased to announce the continuation of the Seed Funding Program, and solicits internal seed-project proposals in areas related to the three research thrusts of the ISE: renewable energy, sustainable fuels/materials, and energy efficiency.

A Sustainable Energy Workshop was hosted successfully by the Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE) at Brown University over three days (October 25 – 27, 2023).
