Student Research

Our President, Dr. E. Gordon Gee, has stated that "being student-centered is a fundamental priority for Ohio State." To that end, the IEE serves as a conduit for our students by providing them with exposure to the interdisciplinary issues of energy and the environment. The IEE also spotlights student work and research. Take a look at what a small sampling of our students have accomplished - both individually and as teams.

Please contact us to keep the IEE informed about the energy and environmental research of our students on campus.
