The Center’s research and analysis utilizes high-performance computer simulation and visualization; hands-on, laboratory-intensive research studies; in-depth qualitative studies, and statistical and economic analyses. In addition to energy research, the Center also offers innovative educational opportunities through interactive workshops, comprised of practitioners and academicians, on key issues related to energy security, sustainability and resilience.
