The potential effects of new energy technologies are revolutionary, but as knowledge accumulates, challenges multiply even faster. Solutions depend upon unprecedented integration of tools and concepts originating from a wide range of science and engineering fields. <\/span><\/p>\n In order to train the next generation of researchers and engineers, the Technion has established an interdisciplinary graduate study program under the auspices of GTEP. This program provides the wide-ranging education necessary to discover the next generation of energy solutions. GTEP provides an environment conducive to interdisciplinary research, the resources necessary to recruit and retain the best minds, which together will generate unparalleled cross-fertilization in a stimulating environment. <\/span> GTEP is looking to cooperate with leading international universities on student exchange programs in the field of energy. The idea is to enable students to benefit from the developments and advances in other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n Managed by an interdisciplinary committee for graduate studies in energy, the GTEP Graduate Study Program is designed to attract highly motivated graduates in science and engineering who are eager to develop expertise, and provide them with the necessary infrastructure and research framework. The students are required to carry out a research project under the guidance of professors from different disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n Tomorrow\u2019s energy researchers and engineers will need to be educated in all classical science and engineering subjects, as well as know-how in economics and policy. Thus, the study program will produce scientists, engineers and researchers with a better understanding <\/span>of all energy-related issues. <\/span><\/div>\n MSc. Student Davyd\u00a0Wing\u00a0came to Technion from Caltech to pursue\u00a0the creation of polymer or organic solar cells \u2013 using a polymer-metal oxide. The advantage over conventional solar cells made of silicon is that they are easier and a lot cheaper to produce. His ambition is to create\u00a0Hybrid Polymer Metal Oxide Photovoltaic Cells\u00a0whose higher conductivity means they… Continue Reading International Energy Studies from GTEP<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThe Technion is uniquely suited to carry out this initiative because it has all the individual components required for success: strong engineering and basic science faculties \u2013 including aerospace, chemical, biotechnology and food, civil and environmental, architecture and town planning, electrical, materials and mechanical engineering, as well as chemistry, biology and physics.<\/span><\/p>\n
