Johns Hopkins faculty are working on solutions to global challenges in sustainability, including advanced energy harvesting devices, more efficient wind farms, and smart electrical grids.
We are leading efforts to create resource-efficient energy systems and technologies. Researchers have developed models to better understand the physics of oil spills, which should help inform cleanup strategies. They are developing computational models that can be used to improve wind farm design and operations. Another active area of investigation is model analysis to improve how renewable energy sources can be used to power national electric grids.
