I/UCRC: Center for Electrochemical Processes and Technology (CEProTECH)

I/UCRC 电化学过程和技术计划推进电化学科学和工程的基础知识，以增强生产和制造应用。 CEProTECH 将结合四个研究重点：(1) 多尺度建模（从材料到电化学系统）、经济学和生命周期分析、(2) 原位电化学光谱和显微镜技术、(3) 原型设计和放大、以及 (4) 技术向工业的快速转移（基于行业成员需求的技术路线图）。拟议的 I/UCRC 将寻求维持新颖、先进和工业适用研究的整体组合。该研究议程将由一个多学科团队执行，其中包括相当一部分代表性不足的教师、研究科学家、众多本科生和研究生以及博士后。 该中心的学生研究人员将获得重要的经验，这将有助于培养受过教育和接受过相关培训的新一代劳动力。该中心计划通过继续教育活动鼓励广泛传播学习，以帮助工业工程师和工程专业的学生获取电化学过程的知识，为他们的职业发展做好更好的准备。

The I/UCRC for Electrochemical Processes and Technology plans to advance the fundamentals of electrochemical science and engineering to enhance production and manufacturing applications. CEProTECH will combine four research thrusts: (1) multiscale-modeling (from materials to electrochemical systems), economics and life cycle analysis, (2) in-situ electrochemical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, (3) prototyping and scale-up, and (4) rapid transfer of technology to industry (technology roadmap based on industry member needs).The proposed I/UCRC will seek to sustain a holistic portfolio of novel, advanced and industrially applicable research. This research agenda will be executed by a multi-disciplinary team, including a significant percent of underrepresented groups of faculty, research scientists, and numerous undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-docs. Student researchers at the Center will receive important experience that will help contribute to the creation of an educated and contextually trained new-generation workforce. The Center plans to encourage a broad dissemination of learning through its continuing education activities to assist engineers in industry, as well as engineering students, in acquiring knowledge of electrochemical processes to better prepare them for career advancements.
