A message from the Director

Welcome to the Institute for Energy Solutions (IES) at the University of Arizona. Our goal is to work together across colleges and disciplines to address energy related research and development challenges. We collaborate with industry, government, utilities and other universities to accomplish our goals. During the 2016-17 academic year, we were awarded to new research and education grants. One is from USDA-NIFA and is a Coordinated Agricultural Project, Sustainable Bioeconomy for Arid Regions. SBAR focuses on co-producing biofuels and bioproducts using minimal water and nutrients from guayule and guar. The second is from NSF and is a National Research Traineeship: Indigenous Food, Energy, and Water Security and Sovereignty (FEWSS). Indigi FEWSS will develop a diverse STEM workforce with intercultural awareness and multidisciplinary knowledge/skills for high priority research in sustainable food, energy, and water systems. In addition to getting our new grants off the ground during the 2017-18 academic year, we will focus on developing and implementing a strategic plan in collaboration with our partners. Please contact us if you would like further information.
