About the Institute of Sustainable Energy and the Environment
The Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE) conducts basic and applied research in a multidisciplinary team approach in key areas of advanced energy and environmental technology, including:
- Advanced materials, including advanced carbon-based materials (building, construction, infrastructure, energy transport & storage applications)
- Advanced materials processing
- Advanced manufacturing (3D printing, additive manufacturing, manufacturing for a circular economy)
- Wastewater remediation
- Electrochemical systems (energy storage and processing)
ISEE’s primary goal is to improve resource use for the sustainable and environmentally responsible production of energy and materials essential to powering our world.
The state of Ohio has recognized ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ’s state and national reputation for energy and pollution research, as well as its potential to create jobs in the field, by designating ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ as a Center of Excellence in Energy and the Environment for the state of Ohio.
Mission
