Celebrating Science Every Day

Students Will Perform Research at National Laboratories

I never thought I would find myself working in the bioenergy industry. I majored in business and graphic design and have always been interested in renewability and cleantech, but I never thought my skills would be applicable in a science-related field.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $178 million for bioenergy research to advance sustainable technology breakthroughs that can improve public, health, help address climate change, improve food and agricultural production, and more.

Research focuses on early-stage, fundamental energy research supporting innovation across America; includes partnerships with the DOE national laboratories

Research will advance data movement and analysis, as well as develop tools for automating workflows to aid in decision support.

Students will perform graduate thesis research at national laboratories

Projects aim to position under-represented academic institutions to make major scientific contributions in support of DOE’s science mission
