Renewables & Environment - Evanston, Illinois, United States
The ANSER Center was founded in July of 2007 to create a joint research effort at Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory with selected groups from Yale University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Chicago in the area of solar energy conversion and solar fuels production. In 2009, ANSER received a $19 Million Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. Together, our five institutions offer a critical mass of world-class researchers, with unique capabilities and facilities in materials synthesis, characterization, and theory. The nature and complexity of these problems requires an integrated systems approach and focused, team-oriented interdisciplinary research with close communication and coordination among team members.
