Cooperative for Advanced Materials in Energy-Related Applications (CAMERA)
 |
 |
The
goal of this NSF-IRES project CAMERA is to involve and
train undergraduate and graduate student researchers in
different scientific, academic, and international venues
to develop a highly skilled, diverse and globally engaged
workforce who can address energy challenges of today and
the future.
IRES students travel
to Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg,
Sweden) each year for 8-10 week long research
experiences to work on collaborative projects in the
area of materials chemistry for energy conversion and
storage. This will be accomplished through
synergistic and complementary coupling of resources and
expertise in state-of-the-art synthesis, simulation,
characterization, and testing at UCSB, Chalmers University
of Technology, and multi-user X-ray and neutron facilities
in Sweden.
Collaborative
research topics include battery materials;
magnetocalorics, thermoelectrics, and dynamic polymers for
energy capture; and materials for electrocatalysis and
electrochemical energy storage.
Application information for UCSB graduate students can be found here.
Undergraduates (any
institution) please apply through the UCSB CISEI
program here.
