Fall 2010 
EEW 601 - Energy and Material Science 
Taught together with Prof. Galen D. Stucky and Prof. Jung-Yong Lee

This course is designed for introducing the research field and its trends that lead academic developments for sustainable energy technology and to provide in-depth lectures on those topics. In particular, a wide variety of energy and materials ranging from material chemistry to catalysis will be covered. In each session, both critical issues and emerging topics on sustainable energy development are to be dealt with.
