The following are some of the ASU centers and institutes affiliated with LightWorks
Arizona Institute for Renewable Energy
AIRE researches reliable renewable energy resources and develops affordable energy transmission and storage technologies to foster a more sustainable future. AIRE leads the nation in advancing renewable energy expertise in the areas of solar power, bioenergy and renewable energy storage.
Biodesign Institute
The hundreds of researchers at ASU’s Biodesign Institute are driven by a passion to solve some of the world’s most urgent problems affecting human health and the health of our planet. Biodesign Institute research includes such ambitious projects as detecting disease before symptoms appear, finding more sustainable sources of fuel and energy, developing vaccines against the world’s most devastating diseases, and much more.
Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis
The center carries out multidisciplinary scientific research using biological and biologically-based artificial systems to address societal energy needs in a sustainable manner, with an emphasis on solar energy conversion and bio-inspired energy transformation to meet human needs. The center also investigates other aspects of photosynthesis that affect society and the environment.
Center for Bio-Inspired Fuel Production
http://solarfuel.asu.edu/EFRC/
The goal of the center is to construct a complete system for solar-powered production of fuels such as hydrogen via water splitting. Design principles will be drawn from the fundamental concepts that underlie photosynthetic energy conversion. The Center involves faculty from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and is housed within the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis.
Flexible Display Center
FDC works to advance full-color, video rate, flexible display technology and catalyze development of a vibrant flexible display and flexible electronics industry. Integral to the center’s mission is integrating the concept of sustainable microelectronics processing into all FDC activities.
Global Institute of Sustainability
http://sustainability.asu.edu/
GIOS conducts research, education, and problem-solving related to sustainability, with a special focus on urban environments. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities: global sustainability cannot be achieved without making cities sustainable. GIOS initiates and nurtures work on issues of sustainability across many departments on the four campuses of ASU, and collaborates with other academic institutions, governments, businesses and industries, and community groups.
Laboratory for Algae Research and Biotechnology
LARB adds to the body of basic research on algae and cyanobacteria, while also conducting applied research into renewable energy production, environmental remediation, and human nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.
