The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office selected two Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ professors in the Department of Chemistry and the Clean Energy Institute to receive nearly $1.5 million in funding for two separate endeavors in solar photovoltaic research. The projects are led by Daniel Gamelin, director of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-based Molecular Engineering Materials Center, and David Ginger, chief scientist at the CEI and co-director of the Northwest Institute for Materials Physics, Chemistry and Technology, a partnership between the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

The CleanTech Alliance has presented the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ with the organization’s 2017 CleanTech Achievement Award. The honor recognizes the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ’s dedication to research and development of transformative clean energy technologies, facilities, pipelines for startups and industry partnerships. The award was announced on Nov. 8 at the annual meeting and 10th anniversary of the CleanTech Alliance, a Seattle-based consortium of more than 300 businesses and interest groups across six U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The organization cited the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ’s…

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is home to a new national center of excellence for research, education and training in materials science. The Molecular Engineering Materials Center is funded by a $15.6 million, six-year grant from the National Science Foundation as part of its highly competitive Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) program.
