Innovative Research
Clean technologies research at Washington State University crosses many disciplines and draws from several colleges across campus. Our diverse collection of faculty experts collaborate to unravel the mechanisms of engineering, plant sciences, and economics, and implement that knowledge to design sustainable resources for the built environment, explore renewable energy sources, distribute and manage the smart grid, and inform progressive public policies on energy use.
The University draws upon the expertise of highly acclaimed faculty, such as those highlighted below. This list shows but a few of the faculty members leading important efforts in clean technologies research.
