To honor International Women’s Day, Nature spotlighted six award winners who shared a woman who has made a real difference in their careers. One nominee was Princeton's Maha Yusuf who is a shining example of an “unapologetically visible” force in STEM. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congratulations to Laura Hwa ’26 and Christopher Li ’26 on their Princeton Research Day awards – Laura on the cost impacts of data center development in the PJM region and Christopher on advancing battery performance through improved cathode design. researchday.princeton.edu

A big thanks to speaker Joe DeCarolis of Carnegie Mellon University for his talk on the rapid growth in electricity demand from data centers and cryptocurrency mining that is beginning to affect the U.S. electricity grid.

Our February newsletter features: ✅ Experts at our Annual Meeting are focused on achieving true circularity. ✅ We welcome an alumnus as a visiting fellow in energy and architecture. ✅ Claire White receives 2026 Robert L’Hermite Medal. And more: mailchi.mp/princeton.edu/…

Thrilled to have many students attend our Alumni Day event, "Navigating Clean Energy Careers Under Uncertainty". We brought together experts who are building successful careers across diverse roles and orgs within the clean energy sector, often outside conventional roles.

Joseph DeCarolis, an internationally recognized leader with deep expertise in energy systems, climate change, computing, and public policy, will be our Highlight Seminar Speaker this Thurs, Feb 26. 👉🏼 acee.princeton.edu/events/highlig…

Our 2025 Annual Meeting underscored the promise of a circular economy and the cultural, economic, and infrastructure barriers ahead, stressing the need for systemic change. bit.ly/4kMeRwa

Rising power demand from data centers & crypto mining is straining the U.S. grid & could drive up emissions and electricity prices. Still, seasonal peaks from heat pumps & data centers may offset each other. Join us Feb 26 for a talk on projected impacts: buff.ly/Y8BUmTa

"My work in the CHAOS Lab gave me a sense for how important building heating and cooling is." As an @AndlingerCenter intern, @ArianeAdcroft '26 helped construct a climate chamber to study different heating and cooling technologies. bit.ly/3YCLaDu

.@ArianeAdcroft had always had a sense that she wanted to explore sustainability in her studies, but she was surprised to discover a detailed interest in the built environment through her time in the lab of @ForrestCHAOS. Read more from @AndlingerCenter: acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/aria…

Research led by Barry Rand demonstrated how to make the conversion of low-energy input into high-energy light far more efficient. This approach has immediate applications in lighting and display technologies. acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/opti…

Thrilled to share that our visiting fellow, Ange Nzihou, has been named an Officer in France’s National Order of Merit, honoring his outstanding contributions to science and the energy transition! imt-mines-albi.fr/fr/actualite/a…

We spoke with Prof. Ryan Kingsbury about his Joule perspective proposing a ‘periodic table of ions’ to rethink ion separations. Read the Q&A: acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/acce…

Princeton’s scientists, engineers and scholars tackle the world’s toughest problems and have shown again and again that they can deliver extraordinary breakthroughs, like those that launched the machine learning revolution, established the first climate models and led to a revolutionary lung-cancer treatment. While we don’t know with any certainty which research will produce the next blockbuster result or scientific miracle, history tells us they are most likely to come from universities: bit.ly/453QMtS
