A recent gift from the Satell Family Foundation will support UConn\u2019s new research partnership in sustainable energy with Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology. UConn and Technion are recognized leaders in energy engineering and education, and both are committed to advancing global adoption of clean and efficient energy technologies.<\/p>\n

UConn\u2019s Center for Clean Energy Engineering and Fraunhofer Center for Energy Innovation, led by Professor Prabhakar Singh, together with Technion\u2019s Grand Technion Energy Program, led by Professor Gideon Grader, provide a platform to advance sustainable energy research in such areas as fuel cell systems, molten salt technology, materials corrosion, concentrated solar power life enhancement, and large-scale stationary batteries.<\/p>\n

The Satell UConn\u2013Technion Leadership Program for Global Energy Sustainability will support an international exchange of faculty and graduate students. Teams from the two institutions will visit each other\u2019s campuses in the U.S. and Israel to present ongoing research and discuss joint investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m proud to support this exciting alliance between my alma mater and Israel\u2019s great research institute, the Technion, where for years I\u2019ve quietly sponsored some major research projects,\u201d said Ed Satell \u201957 (BUS). “This project can have a dramatic, positive, creative impact on the world\u2019s much-needed clean, affordable, plentiful alternative energy resources. Professors Grader and Singh are the tops in their fields, so our hopes are high.”<\/p>\n

Satell, who earned a degree in business from UConn in 1957, is founder, president, and CEO of Progressive Business Publications. Previously, he established the Ed Satell Non-Profit Internship Program and the Ed Satell International Social Entrepreneurship Fund at UConn to mark the 50th anniversary of his graduation from the UConn School of Business. The Satell Family Foundation also supports numerous research projects in energy and medicine at Technion.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnion is one of the finest institutions in the world, and we are delighted to be expanding our collaboration,\u201d said Daniel Weiner, UConn vice provost for global affairs. “This generous gift from the Satell Family Foundation will support an innovative partnership and very important research and scholarship.”<\/p>\n

UConn has developed collaborations in multiple disciplines at Technion, including sustainable energy, stem cell research, physics, and mathematics, and is exploring new collaborations in materials science and robotics. UConn\u2019s alliance with Technion is part of a broad global engagement strategy with premier institutions around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
