Research

Faculty associated with CERES have engaged in research ranging in scale from community planning to materials technology. The primary emphasis of the CERES research is the inter-relation of disciplines in energy-related methods of analysis, performance evaluation and decision-making. CERES contracts with public agencies, businesses, and private foundations to develop new avenues of application for extant technologies. CERES is also committed to deriving new knowledge bases by means of physical experiments, computer modeling/simulations, and case studies.
