the future of energy
PREPARING FOR JOBS
By some estimates, more than half of the jobs graduates will take in the future don’t exist today. William & Mary researchers are preparing us and their students for that complex future, in the energy sector in particular. Here are four W&M professors, each from different sciences, all putting their energy toward the future.
William McNamara
Received a five-year award from the National Science Foundation for continued research into artificial photosynthesis.
Saskia Mordijck
Leads the international Joint Research Target for the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, working with labs throughout the world to solve the complicated problem of refueling fusion reactions.
Bill Cooke
His students are working on a “twofer” project, removing harmful excess algae from waterways and using the harvested algae as a biofuel.
John Swaddle
Awarded Commonwealth Research Commercialization funds to fuel his “acoustic lighthouses,” technology that will ward birds off wind turbines.
