Energy Systems, Sustainability, & Environmental Protection

Energy Systems, Sustainability, & Environmental Protection are interdisciplinary fields that encompass the study and implementation of technologies, policies, and practices to optimize energy generation, storage, transmission, and utilization while minimizing environmental impact.

These fields address critical global challenges such as climate change, the blue economy, environmental needs, and energy equity. Our research expertise spans areas such as energy transport, storage and harvesting, chemical and mechanical processes, efficiency design, and the development of renewable materials at various scales, ranging from nanostructures to bulk composites.

Within the MIE department at Northeastern, we have a strong, talented group of researchers dedicated to Energy Systems, Sustainability, & Environmental Protection.
