Solving Energy Problems One Molecule at a Time - Associate Professor Jeffrey Grossman

    Description

    In this interview, Associate Professor Jeffrey Grossman discusses topics ranging from his work in material engineering to his love of ballroom dancing.

    Professor Grossman explains why material science is such an important instrument for tackling modern scientific issues and the ability to manipulate materials all the way down to the atom. 

     He explores how material science can be utilized in the development of energy conversion and storage, a useful tool for developing clean energy systems.
