This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project will investigate and improve infrastructure sustainability with experimental and modeling approaches by studying the multi-physical properties of solar roofing materials and fabricate a novel solar roofing panel with optimized multifunction. The panel will contain a photovoltaic layer deposited on a thermoelectric layer and then bonded to a plastic lumber substrate through a functionally graded interlayer containing water tubes. Heat transfer and thermo-mechanical behavior of the solar panel will be characterized by experiments and multi-scale/physical modeling. Delamination and in-layer cracking will be investigated and simulated for the structural design of the panels. An internal variable based model will be introduced to describe the long-term performance. The long-term educational goal of this CAREER project is to promote sustainable engineering among the next generation of researchers and engineers at the graduate, undergraduate and pre-collegiate levels. This CAREER project will develop several educational components related to architecturally integrated sustainable infrastructure for harvesting solar energy and increase awareness of novel cost effective approaches that serve as viable solutions for global energy and climate challenges. Three strategic approaches will be implemented: 1) develop interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate curricula that integrate material manufacturing, instrumentation development, laboratory testing, and technology innovation; 2) establish collaboration with a public school in the Harlem community to promote STEM research course work related to sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy among underrepresented youth, and; 3) increase public understanding and awareness of the role of original research in the development and implementation of sustainable energy and building solutions.

该教师早期职业发展（CAREER）项目将通过研究太阳能屋顶材料的多物理特性，并制造具有优化多功能的新型太阳能屋顶板，以实验和建模方法调查和改善基础设施的可持续性。该面板将包含沉积在热电层上的光伏层，然后通过包含水管的功能梯度夹层结合到塑料木材基材。 太阳能电池板的传热和热机械行为将通过实验和多尺度/物理建模来表征。 分层和层内开裂将进行调查和模拟的面板的结构设计。将引入一个基于内部变量的模型来描述长期绩效。 这个职业生涯项目的长期教育目标是促进下一代研究人员和工程师在研究生，本科生和大学预科水平的可持续工程。这个职业生涯项目将开发与建筑集成的可持续基础设施相关的几个教育组件，用于收集太阳能，并提高对新型成本效益方法的认识，这些方法可作为应对全球能源和气候挑战的可行解决方案。将实施三种战略方法：1）开发跨学科的本科生和研究生课程，将材料制造，仪器开发，实验室测试和技术创新整合在一起; 2）与哈莱姆社区的公立学校建立合作关系，以促进与代表性不足的年轻人中的可持续基础设施和可再生能源相关的STEM研究课程工作; 3）提高公众对原创性研究在开发和实施可持续能源和建筑解决方案中的作用的理解和认识。
