excel Creating solutions requires inclusive research programs that build off of one another, instead of remaining siloed. At the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, we take pride in bringing together scholars who can collectively help to develop new fields and dynamic solutions for energy and environmental issues. Through seed grants and fellowships for veteran energy experts and postdoctoral researchers, we aim to build a community of scholars who integrate various fields of study in ways that are useful for addressing modern energy and environmental problems and their underlying contexts. Our researchers work on electric infrastructure, fuels and chemicals, decisionmaking and economics, environmental science, sensing and remediation, and the built environment, to lay the foundations for the next generation of clean energy technologies while working on remediating today’s key issues.

“We cultivate expertise across all parts of energy systems, and facilitate collaboration in other realms, such as policy, architecture, and psychology, to produce timely and impactful research.”
