Research

The Institute for Energy Research is composed of research centers that are established with seed funding from the SER budget.  Each research center strives to achieve support through outside funding, an accomplishment that may take several years.  Research Centers bring together faculty and graduate student from multiple disciplines to develop important energy research programs.  These centers are expected to evolve with time.  New groups may form to work on emerging problems, and some existing centers may disband as their programs are completed.  Ten research centers were either active or being organized in 2009:

• Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute - Jim Steidtmann, Director
• Coal Bed Natural Gas Center -  Professor David Bagley, Director
• Renewable Energy Center
• Wyoming Reclamation and Restoration Center - Professor Pete Stahl, Director
• Clean Coal Technologies Center -  Professor O. A. Plumb, Director
• Fundamentals of Fluid Flow Research Center -  Professor L. F. Pereira, Director, Assistant Professor, Mohammad Piri, Associate Director
• Wind Energy Research Center -  Associate Professor Jonathan Naughton, Director
• Carbon Management Research Center -  Directorship Open
• Center for Energy Economics - Professor Tim Considine, Director
