Key Information: Applicants must be within ten years of their Ph.D., or age 40 or younger without a Ph.D.
Description
The American Physical Society (APS) awards the Stanford R. Ovshinsky Sustainable Energy Fellowship to recognize inventive research and help promising exploratory ideas develop toward further support. Projects may investigate energy generation or storage through new materials, methodologies, or cost-effective energy conversion technologies. Proof-of-principle experiments or calculations are among the possible approaches, but proposed work must have viable potential for commercialization.
Established in honor of Stanford R. Ovshinsky’s contributions to energy conversion, the fellowship emphasizes creative approaches to sustainable energy. Its broader aim is to advance efficient, low-cost technologies that do not rely on fossil fuels and can provide carbon-free energy.
