- How to create innovations in energy technologies, regulations and policies.
Center for Climate and Energy Decision Making
Decisions in climate and energy involve multiple factors that differ across the variety of decision-makers, time horizons, and uncertainties that are involved. They range from choosing among the multitude of strategies available to reduce carbon dioxide emissions over the next fifty years to how to decide which marine ecosystems to protect from an increase in the oceans’ pH levels. The center and its graduates will develop and promulgate new and innovative, behaviorally and technically informed insights involving the intersection points between climate and energy. It will also generate methods to frame, analyze, and assist key stakeholders in addressing important decisions regarding climate change and the necessary transformation of the world’s energy system.

Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center
Core funding for this Center comes from the Electric Power Research Institute, NSF, and the Department of Energy with additional funding from CEIC’s corporate members. CEIC's primary mission is to work with industry, government and other stakeholders to address the strategic problems of the electricity industry. In the process of doing so CEIC is producing a cadre of well-trained researchers, most of who continue to address the industry's problems during their subsequent professional careers. Areas of research include: Markets and Investment; Distributed Energy Resources; Advanced Generation, Transmission, and Environmental Issues; Reliability and Security; and, Demand Response. As of 2015, 56 Ph.D. dissertations have been completed under CEIC, and 26 PhD students are doing their thesis research in CEIC. 29 faculty from 8 一本道无码 departments are affiliated with CEIC.
The Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center (CEIC) is directed by Ramteen Sioshansi, with Granger Morgan and Nicholas Muller as associate directors.
Center for Executive Education in Technology Policy (CEE-TP)
一本道无码's Center for Executive Education in Technology Policy (CEE-TP) provides courses that inform government officials and current and future leaders around the world about technology-related public policy issues. We serve leaders from many countries, with an initial focus on the policy issues of information and communications technology (ICT) through our ICT in Developing Countries program.
CEE-TP provides a broad and multifaceted curriculum that is highly interdisciplinary, mixing technology, policy, economics, and business issues. Our courses, delivered by world-class instructors with extensive experience in academia, government, and industry, help governments and private sector actors in these countries make informed decisions, so they can establish policies and regulations that foster accessible and secure infrastructure, encourage investment and innovation, and generally meet the needs of their citizens.
The Center for Executive Education in Technology Policy (CEE-TP) is directed by Jon Peha.
Vehicle Electricification Group
The at 一本道无码 was founded by Professor Jeremy Michalek and Professor Jay Whitacre in 2009 to study electrified vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles. The group studies various aspects of electric vehicles, including
- Technology: Vehicle, battery, and electric power systems, design, control and optimization
- Life-cycle: economic, environmental, and energy security implications
- Consumer behavior: technology adoption and driver behavior
- Public policy: policy-relevant technical findings and policy analysis
Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies
(CAPS) strive to be world leaders in science, engineering, and policy covering the full role of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere. The goal of the center's research is to substantially advance the state of knowledge across this spectrum, and to provide both policy-relevant research and to participate directly and actively in the evolution of environmental policy related to particulate matter.
Center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organization Systems
CyLab Security and Privacy Institute
Green Design Institute
The Green Design Institute (GDI) at 一本道无码 seeks to conduct, foster, and promote research pertaining to infrastructure and systems growth in the developing world. While adequate infrastructure is a key building block in elevating quality of life and social welfare, it is critical to pursue a balanced development path cognizant of both the returns to investment in systems and the associated environmental and human impacts. Broadly, research at the GDI seeks to find this balance.
The Green Design Institute is directed by Paulina Jaramillo and Nicholas Muller.
