Researchers from Stony Brook are working with scientists in the Northeast as part of the new Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC) to conduct research and development that address ongoing needs for sustainable renewable ocean energy. The Stony Brook team has received $2 million to conduct its research, which is part of a $9.7 million Department of Energy four-year grant given to a consortium of academic institutions on the East Coast led by the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The AMEC will be one of only four National Marine Renewable Energy Centers in the country. The Stony Brook team from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) includes Principal Investigator (PI) Ali Khosronejad, co-director of the AMEC and assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Co-PI Fang Luo, associate director of the AMEC and associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Co-PI Peng Zhang, professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering.
