Frequently asked questions

The typical educational background of a student admitted into the Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering PhD program has a degree in chemical, biomolecular, material, or environmental engineering.  However, graduate research in the Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering department is highly interdisciplinary and therefore also aligns well with students that have proficiency in college-level math or backgrounds in chemical, atmospheric, and biological sciences as well as other engineering degrees.

Students who graduate with a PhD in Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering have a wide range of options for future careers. The following include examples of where current students are employed.

• Faculty (e.g., U. of Minnesota, U. of Houston, Virginia Tech, U. of Washington)
• Post-Doctoral Fellows (e.g., Caltech, MIT, Stanford, Harvard)
• Industry (e.g., Corning, Cabot, DuPont, Intel, SunEdison, Thermo Fisher Scientific)
• Government (e.g., Congressional Fellows) 
• Startups (e.g., Applied Particle Technology)
• National Research Labs (e.g., NREL, PNNL, LBL, USEPA)
• Consulting & Think Tanks (e.g., ICCT, Rand, L.E.K Consulting)

Washington University is a prestigious, well-endowed private university, which creates stability (we don't rely on direct government funding for our operations), flexibility, and opportunity. Saint Louis is a city with a low cost of living and a high quality of life (many students and faculty have a short, pleasant walk to school). However, it is big enough to be cosmopolitan and to offer many cultural, dining, and entertainment opportunities.

The EECE department at Wash U brings together cross-disciplinary research in chemical, environmental, and biological processes in engineered systems with the goal of achieving cleaner air and water while meeting heightened demand for energy and goods through responsible and sustainable approaches. A student wanting to study in the EECE department at Wash will be part of an ecosystem of research, education, and community to support discoveries that address future global challenges with active research in three areas: Chemical Engineering and Processing; Energy; and Environmental Engineering. If a student chooses the EECE department at Wash U, they will gain expertise in and be exposed to the fundamentals and applications of Aerosol Science and Engineering; Engineered Aquatics Processes; Synthetic Biology & Bioproduct Engineering; and Multiscale & Electrochemical Engineering.

While there is no fixed time to complete a PhD, most students finish in approximately five years.

Each entering PhD student will be assigned to the First-year PhD Adviser as their temporary academic advisor. This adviser is a full-time faculty member in EECE whose role in the department is to help new students become acquainted with first year procedures, research rotations, procedures to select a permanent advisor, and initial choice of classes. The First-year PhD Adviser is the point of contact for entering PhD students and available to assist entering PhD students with any questions or concerns. To become better acquainted with potential faculty advisors and learn about their research in greater detail, all students will then spend approximately one month in their first semester rotating with each of two different research groups.  Through the EECE Orientation Week and Laboratory Rotations, an incoming PhD student will be well-prepared to choose a lab or advisor to work with.

There are a number of resources offered by the Graduate School in regard to housing, transportation and support for both domestic and international students. All students have access to a free UPass which covers universal rail and bus transportation. The University assists graduate students with finding suitable off-campus housing through  quadrangle.wustl.edu .

Overall, St. Louis is a safe and healthy city, with crime rates that are typical of medium-sized US metropolitan regions. St. Louis, like other major cities, faces social disparities and inequities, and some neighborhoods are safer than others. WashU is committed to promoting systemic change and keeping students safe.

Energy engineering.

About the Program

Bachelor of science (bs).

The Energy Engineering major offered through the Engineering Science Program interweaves the fundamentals of classical and modern physics, chemistry, and mathematics with energy engineering applications. A great strength of the major is its flexibility. The firm base in physics and mathematics is augmented with a selection of engineering course options that prepare the student to tackle the complex energy-related problems faced by society. Because the program emphasizes science and mathematics, students are well-prepared to pursue graduate studies in physics or engineering. Energy engineering is a multidisciplinary field requiring the integration of physical principles with engineering analysis, augmented with the realities of policy and engineering economics. The program incorporates courses from many departments on campus to create a discipline that is rigorously based in science, mathematics, and engineering while addressing a wide variety of environmental issues.

Admission to the Major

Prospective undergraduates in the College of Engineering must apply for admission to one specific major/degree program. For further information, please see the  College of Engineering's website .

Admission to engineering via a Change of College application for current UC Berkeley students is very competitive, as there are few open spaces in engineering for students admitted to other colleges at UC Berkeley. For further information regarding a Change of College to Engineering, please see the  college's website .

Minor Program

The Energy Engineering minor has arisen as a natural outgrowth of the large amount of energy-related research in the College of Engineering. For a number of years, courses have been developed across the College of Engineering, and the energy engineering minor is designed to coordinate these courses for students who have an interest in systems that are associated with all aspects of energy systems, such as generation, transmission, and consumption. The energy minor, offered through the College of Engineering, is an optional program that encourages coherence in the work students undertake around energy engineering.

For admission to the minor, students must have a minimum overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 and have also completed all of the prerequisite courses. For information regarding the prerequisites, please see the Minor Requirements tab on this page.

After completion of the prerequisite courses, students will need to complete and submit a Petition for Admission form  to the undergraduate staff adviser. Students must apply at least one semester prior to graduation (i.e., students cannot be on the official degree list at the time of application). Students will also need to submit a copy of their transcript and a course plan at the time of application.

Upon completion of the minor requirements, submit a Petition for Completion of the Undergraduate Minor to the undergraduate staff adviser. This must be completed no later than two weeks prior to the end of the semester.

Two Graduate Students Selected for U.S. Department of Energy Research Program

• by Jessica Heath
• April 23, 2024

Abigail Hering and Hudson Shih, Ph.D. students in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Davis, have been selected for this year's Office of Science Graduate Student Research, or SCGSR, program from the U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE. 

The SCGSR program provides opportunities for students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory or facility in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist. Hering and Shih are two of the 86 awardees from 57 different universities who will conduct their research at national laboratories. 

Abigail Hering

Hering, a third-year Ph.D. student, will be stationed at LBNL's Molecular Foundry, where she will work with Carolin Sutter-Fella, an LBNL staff scientist and expert in inorganic nanostructures, in her Materials for Energy Conversion lab to fabricate halide perovskite thin films using a fully automated robotic fabrication system called the SpinBot. 

In her research in the Leite Lab , led by Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite , Hering has focused on characterizing the optical properties of halide perovskites, which are promising materials for a renewable, reliable and low-cost alternative for solar cells . However, halide perovskites can degrade faster than silicon solar cells when exposed to environmental stressors like humidity, temperature, oxygen and light. 

Using the SpinBot system, Hering will be able to fabricate more perovskite thin film samples with a higher degree of control and precision than she can at UC Davis. She will also be able to test the sample qualities immediately after creating them, creating large datasets that can then be analyzed using machine-learning models to predict and classify the degradations that occur. 

"I am very excited about the opportunity to work in Dr. Sutter-Fella's lab and to be part of the collaborative and innovative environment of a national lab," said Hering. "The unique SpinBot system will allow me to advance my research significantly to understand the long-term stability of these materials, which is essential to their implementation as commercial solar cells." 

Hudson Shih

Shih will conduct his residency at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or LBNL, National Center for Electron Microscopy, or NCEM, where he will use high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, or TEM, to observe phase transitions in strontium cobaltite. 

Using advanced TEM techniques such as in-situ TEM and 4D-STEM, Shih aims to deepen the understanding of how oxygen diffusion facilitates the transition between transition phases, which could lead to informing the design of strontium cobaltite oxide-based memristors, themselves promising candidates for dense memory systems in neuromorphic computing.  

Shih, who is in his fourth year pursuing his Ph.D. under the advisement of materials science and engineering professors Yayoi Takamura and Seung Sae Hong , looks forward to working with the researchers at NCEM, who have the knowledge and expertise with these specialized techniques. 

"I am excited to work with experts like Rohan Dhall and Colin Ophus at NCEM who are among the best microscopists in the world," Shih said. "NCEM is known for its pioneering role in electron microscopy, particularly in deploying cutting-edge techniques like 4D-STEM."

Special Report: Clearing the Air

April 24, 2024 - Welcome to this special report highlighting clean and sustainable energy research at the University of California, Irvine.

As UC Irvine was being established in the mid-1960s, its leaders envisioned an institution designed with an architecture – both figuratively and literally – to address emerging environmental consequences of the industrial age.

In those early days, Scott Samuelsen, a professor with expertise in mechanical, aerospace and environmental engineering, was charged with building strong research capabilities focusing on water and air quality and resources. Beginning in 1970 with the establishment of the UCI Combustion Laboratory – a center dedicated to the reduction of emissions from gas turbine engines – Samuelsen went on to develop and launch a series of what he calls “cornerstone” organizations tackling different aspects of clean and sustainable energy research.

In 1992, he led the founding of PARCON – the Pacific Rim Consortium on Energy, Combustion and the Environment. The group included academic institutions and industrial partners from seven countries, which together explored a zero-emission alternative to both air pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Samuelsen oversaw the launch of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at UC Irvine in 1998 with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission. Two years later, he presided over the opening of the Advanced Power and Energy Program to address the energy spectrum from source to distribution to utilization and, ultimately, the environmental impacts of energy consumption. In 2018, a further piece of the puzzle, this time dealing with the electrochemistry of battery-electric and hydrogen-powered transportation and the power grid, was put in place with the opening of the Horiba Institute for Mobility and Connectivity.

This report reaches into laboratories and learning spaces connected with these centers to show how students and faculty researchers are collaborating to create solutions to climate change and environmental degradation, two of the most important problems humanity faces. Learn about the latest clean energy technologies through the stories, photos and videos in this special report. Share this content freely with your friends and associates and, most importantly, get involved.

Onrí Jay Benally receives 2024 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

Doctoral student Onrí Jay Benally is a 2024 recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Benally is currently pursuing his doctoral research under the guidance of Distinguished McKnight Professor and Robert F. Hartmann chair Jian-Ping Wang exploring the world of quantum computing and spintronic devices. 

A Navaho (Diné) tribesman and carpenter, Benally comes to us from the mountains of Red Valley and Oak Springs, Arizona. After graduating from tribal high school, he found himself building off-road electric vehicles at a Utah State University lab led by Professors Curtiz Frazier and Jared Barrett. Two years later, in 2017, he transferred to the University of Minnesota and accepted a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) through the NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University. During this time, he worked with Professor Vlad Pribiag (School of Physics and Astronomy) building nanoelectronic devices in the cleanroom for Majorana fermion research. The REU was Benally’s first brush with quantum technology exploration. He returned to the MRSEC REU in summer 2018 and this time he worked with Wang on micro and nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions for classical computer memory and logic applications. He earned his bachelor’s degree in multidisciplinary studies from the University in 2021. 

While Benally was working on his undergraduate degree, he earned an IBM certificate in quantum computation using Qiskit, and began hypothesizing how metallic-based spintronics and new architectures could be used to support the expansion of quantum supercomputing worldwide. The initial hypothesis motivated him to enter ECE’s doctoral program in fall 2022. 

Reflecting on his interest in quantum technology and his skills as a carpenter, Benally says, "Carpentry was my livelihood on the tribe before completing my undergraduate degree. It is a big part of who I am and has indirectly led to my success as a nanofabricator of spintronics and quantum chips." Benally shares that one of his first toys as a kid was a toy hammer. 

Benally’s research interests revolve around the engineering of quantum computing hardware and spintronic devices. An interdisciplinary area, his research involves the nanofabrication of ultrafast nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions, cryogenic magnetic random-access memory (cryo-MRAM), and hybrid spintronic quantum processing units (QPUs), systems that can form scalable, sustainable quantum hardware architectures. Under the guidance of Wang, Benally designs and fabricates these systems at the Minnesota Nano Center at the University. Benally addressed these new developments in his keynote speech at the Arizona State University-led Quantum Collaborative Summit this past fall in San Antonio, Texas. Over the upcoming summer, Benally will be a graduate intern with IBM Research in Yorktown Heights, New York. As a quantum hardware engineer, he will be working on cutting edge cryogenic electronics for large-scale superconducting quantum computers.

Benally has accepted the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and feels honored to start delivering on his proposed ideas on supporting quantum supercomputing through spintronics and new architectures.
