Science for a Sustainable Future

Princeton University physical chemist Emily Carter is using fundamental scientific principles to create computer simulation tools that will help predict the behavior of different materials including renewable fuels. The research, which is supported by the National Science Foundation, has a broad range of applications including improving thermal barrier coatings for jet engines, developing new materials for lightweight vehicles to improve fuel efficiency, and creating novel materials for use in non-fossil fuel sustainable energy production.
