ACEP Hosts Visiting Researchers: Dane Boysen and Chris Hagen
On Monday, December 2nd, Dr. Chris Hagen (Assistant Professor, Oregon State University) and Dr. Dane Boysen (Program Director, U.S. Dept. of Energy) visited ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× and gave a seminar about the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Advanced Research and Projects Agency-Energy program, commonly referred to as ARPA-e. The seminar, held in ACEP’s Power Systems Integration Lab, was well attended by faculty, students, and members of the public.
Dr. Hagen’s presentation was about his ARPA-e funded research regarding combustion of alternative fuels, especially natural gas, for use in internal combustion engines. Dr. Boysen’s seminar focused on lessons learned from ARPA-e, and how they might be applied in Alaska to potentially grow its own local energy innovation ecosystem. Presentations will soon be available for download at www.uaf.edu/acep.
