[Faculty] GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

[Garoma, Temesgen]

Dear Colleagues:

I am writing to bring to your attention a funding opportunity from
California Energy Commission, *Re: BRIDGE 2020 - Bringing Rapid Innovation
Development to Green Energy*. There are five focus areas (see the table
below), and it appears that all the focus areas are aligned with the
research interests in the College of Engineering. I have also attached the
GFO for your information.

*Groups*

*Eligible Technology Topics or Energy Applications*

*Group 1:* Energy Efficiency

·                Advanced materials and coatings for fenestration and
building envelopes

·                Wastewater treatment, recycling, reuse (including
technologies such as electrochemical systems)

·                Energy efficient irrigation

*Group 2:* Energy Storage

·                Enabling technologies for lithium sulfur, lithium-metal,
and advanced lithium-ion batteries

·                Flow batteries

(including technologies such as perovskites, quantum dots, organic
semiconductors)

·                Energy harvesting (including technologies such as
thermoelectric, thermionic, piezoelectric, thermophotovoltaic, in-conduit
energy generation)

·                Environmentally beneficial waste-to-energy
