Sustainability Research Directory

Enrique Mallada, PhD, has research interests in networked systems, power systems, optimization, and machine learning. He is also a core member of the Ralph O’Conner Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI). His current projects include voltage collapse stabilization for preventing power grid blackouts, dynamic control for improving the performance of low inertia power systems, and control and market participation of distributed energy resources.

Jeffrey Maranchi, PhD, oversees technical aspects of programs spanning applied materials science, nanostructured materials for energy, applied optoelectronic devices, nanostructured materials for optical/structural applications, applied biology, applied physics, applied chemistry, microfabrication, and energy storage and energy conversion devices and applications.

Bruce D. Marsh, PhD, has research interests in all aspects (from basic geology to crystallization kinetics, and fluid mechanics) of the generation, migration, and eruption of magma.

Tyrel M. McQueen, PhD, and his research group aim to achieve the next generation of materials revolutions by combining the development of new synthetic techniques with advances in measurement and analysis methods to discover, design, and control materials with exotic electronic states of matter.

Mahdi Mehrtash, PhD, has research interests in global/stochastic/distributed optimization, zero energy buildings, power system optimization, and the electricity market.

Charles Meneveau, PhD, is associate director of the Institute for Data-Intensive Science and Engineering (IDIES) and an expert in the small scale dynamics of turbulence, large-eddy simulations, and wind farm fluid dynamics.
