See Clean Tech and Energy Research Advances from UC San Diego Engineers at Research Expo 2014



With more than 1,700 engineering graduate students, 200 engineering professors and $158M is engineering research expenditures, the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering is teeming with exciting projects and entrepreneurial engineers looking to transfer their advances to society in order to solve problems, advance technology and make the world a better place. A good sized chunk of the Jacobs School’s graduate students and professors are working on research that can be leveraged to address our global clean-technology and energy challenges.

At Research Expo 2014 on April 17, UC San Diego engineering graduate students will present about 35 posters that the students have specifically tagged as relevant for “clean technology / energy” applications. But no doubt, more of the 200 students presenting at Research Expo are working on engineering challenges that are relevant for emerging clean technology and energy applications.

Below are just a few of the official clean-tech and energy posters. Have a look at the entire list of poster titles here. When you register for Research Expo, you get access to the full abstracts of each poster.

In addition to the posters session, Research Expo includes six fast-paced faculty talks and a networking reception…all during the afternoon of April 17, here at UC San Diego.
Research Expo admission is $100. Half-price for UC San Diego alumni. Our Corporate Affiliates Program members receive 2-for-1 admission.
