During each academic year at UCSB, the Institute for Energy Efficiency hosts a weekly seminar series, which is open to the public. Our seminars bring industry leaders and faculty to UCSB to give technical presentations, followed by Q&A with our faculty and students.

Some of our recent speakers have included Jay Hakes, presidential and energy historian; Andy Goes, Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide; Nick Hutzler, Physics Professor at Caltech; Bethanie Stadler, Professor and Associate Head of Computer Engineering the University of Minnesota.

 


We invite Institute faculty to nominate future seminar speakers. Please send your nominations to an IEE Staff Member.
