The Department of Energy (DOE) is funding six research and development projects that will repurpose domestic coal resources for high-value graphitic products and carbon-metal composites that can be employed in clean energy technologies. (Earlier post.) Ohio University’s Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment was awarded two of the six.
The Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE) has been awarded $2 million for two projects by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Presidential Medals, Named Fellowships awarded to seven graduate students Published: April 15, 2021 Author: Staff reports
Ohio University honored some of its highest achieving graduate students, contributing to their research efforts with two presidential medals and five named graduate fellowships. These awards celebrate several of our truly outstanding graduate students, Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. They are conducting research that will have significant impact on the health and well-being of individuals and communities. They are contributing new knowledge to our understanding of history and science. And, they have creative spirits and inquisitive minds that exemplify our graduate students at OHIO.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced $8.7 million in awards to Develop Emerging Carbon-Based Building and Construction Materials, with OHIO s Jason Trembly receiving two $500,000 grants for two separate projects focused on addressing climate change and sustainability issues surrounding construction and infrastructure.
Trembly, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, was awarded the two grants for his projects focused on developing carbon foam and carbon composite materials as alternatives to existing construction materials. Over the past decades, there has been a big focus on climate change impacts of the energy and transportation sectors, Trembly said. However, one of the areas that hasn t been addressed are the actual materials being used in construction. If you look at construction over the past 50 years, typically energy and CO2 e
