Vision:
The Institute of Energy: Sustainability, Environment, and Equity (I:SEE) will build the scientific foundation needed to meet the science and technology energy challenges of the 21st Century.
Mission:
Housed at Stony Brook University, I:SEE focuses on electrochemistry and energy storage to address energy related environmental issues, and human health.
Focus Areas:
Energy storage for a new energy vision: Advances in energy storage basic science and technology are critical in enabling expanded adoption of renewable forms of energy and a clean green resilient electric grid.
Facilitate electrification of transportation: Further portable energy storage needed to enable the widespread utilization of electric vehicles.
Energy storage in service of human health: Advances in treatment and diagnosis of human health demand advances in energy storage providing small, adaptable, and reliable systems.
Objectives:
Conduct scientific research to foster innovation: The Institute will conduct scientific research to promote innovation with a focus on electrochemistry and energy storage.
Educate energy leaders and workforce: Prepare students, early and mid-career scientists to become the energy leaders of the future.
Engage partners: Leverage Brookhaven National Laboratory to mobilize and engage private and public partners in impactful new programs related to energy and the environment.
