November 6
The Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) will host a webinar about PhD opportunities in sustainable energy at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). The webinar will cover a range of topics and disciplines spanning across PhD programs at various JHU Divisions and Departments. Successful PhD applicants will be enrolled in respective PhD programs and will join ROSEI as student members. ROSEI is a community of researchers at JHU that is committed to advancing sustainable energy through inter-disciplinary research and education. The webinar is set to take place on November 6 at 8 PM ET and requires registrationIf this date/time does not work for the student, there is another seminar covering the same topics on November 7 at 12 PM (noon) ET. The webinar will cover a variety of topics, including:
  • An overview of ROSEI
  • An overview of departmental admission process in participating departments
  • Funding support: guaranteed support for RAs and Fellowship opportunities (ROSEI, VSTI, Percy Pierre, departmental and other fellowships)
  • Networking with faculty from different JHU departments that lead ROSEI’s research pillars – CarbonStorageWind and Grid – and ROSEI’s research centers – EPICS, ARROW, NZPL –  and speaking with them about their respective research areas
  • A Q&A session
See below to learn more about some of the research being conducted in each of ROSEI’s four pillars. Questions about the webinar can be sent to [email protected] with the subject line “Prospective PhD Applicant Webinar Question.”
Carbon
Our work in carbon management, particularly in partnership with the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E program, has already spun out two companies – one working on cleanly converting natural gas to hydrogen at point of use, and one working on direct air capture of carbon.
     
Storage
Our work in energy storage spans a remarkable partnership with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (APL), the largest university-affiliated research center in the country. The ROSEI-APL partnership is investigating more sustainable storage solutions and looking at integrated solar-storage solutions.
     
Wind
ROSEI is leading Maryland’s presence in a new national center – titled Academic Center for Reliability and Resilience of Offshore Wind (ARROW) – that aims to expand the local offshore wind industry and provide greater opportunities for Maryland residents and businesses to participate in the growing clean energy economy.        
Grid
ROSEI is leading a new global center – titled Electric Power Innovation for a Carbon-free Society (EPICS) – with a total budget of $15 million that is focused on helping society transition towards 100% renewable energy for power grids.
