The University of Texas at San Antonio announced today the appointment of Les Shephard, a nationally recognized expert who often speaks before U.S. Congress on energy and water issues, to head its Institute for Conventional, Alternative and Renewable Energy (ICARE). Shephard will assume his role as director of the UTSA Institute effective April 15, 2010.
Dedicated to exploring new and innovative energy solutions, San Antonio Water System (SAWS) announced today it has joined the Energy Research Alliance of San Antonio, established in June by The University of Texas at San Antonio, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and CPS Energy. The four organizations will collaborate to define and implement new and alternative strategies for the development of energy technology.
United in a common interest to explore new and innovative energy solutions, The University of Texas at San Antonio, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and CPS Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to form the Energy Research Alliance of San Antonio.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded the College of Engineering a $199,884, 24-month grant to study energy combustion. This grant bolsters UTSA’s agenda of becoming a tier-one university. The research team, led by Mechanical Engineering department chair and professor, Stathis Michaelides, will use a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) code developed by Michaelides and his students to simulate the flow and interactions of particles with gases in reactors, gasifiers, etc. Results of Michaelides’ research will hopefully lead to the development of more efficient reactors that will trap pollutants and other products of combustion.
