Professors Segalman and Chabinyc Receive Grant from the DOE for Thermoelectrics Research

Thursday, September 22, 2016

Professor and Chair of Chemical Engineering, Rachel Segalman, and Materials Professor Michael Chabinyc have received a $900,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy which will allow them to investigate ways of improving thermoelectric performance in polymeric materials. Their work may yield new materials that can turn heat into energy or — vice-versa — energy into heating and cooling.
