Emerge: Redesigning the future
April 17, 2012
On March 1–3, 2012, Arizona State University hosted Emerge, a campus-wide event that united artists, engineers, bioscientists, social scientists, story-tellers and designers to build, draw, write and play with the future. This interactive exhibition at the ASU Art Museum offers Emerge’s discoveries and creations, giving you an opportunity to get a taste of the futures discussed. Join us for the opening reception Tuesday, April 17, from 5-8 p.m., sponsored by the ASU Global Institute of Sustainability. Free and open to the public.
Seminar: Novel Carbon Materials and Structures for Photonics
April 18, 2012
This is a seminar and presentation on advanced carbon materials, such as CVD diamond, single-wall carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as micro and nanostructures based on them. It will be shown that such materials demonstrate unique optical properties which can be used in application to photonic elements and devices.
ASU / UA Student Conference on Renewable Energy Science
April 19 - 20, 2012
This is a student-focused conference exploring renewable energy research activities at both universities in solar fuels, solar electric, and energy policy. The conference will feature student talks and poster presentations, representing the broad range of activities on both campuses. On Thursday, April 19 there will be hors d'oeuvres served during the poster session, followed by an industry mixer in the evening. The second day, Friday, April 20, includes breakfast, a student-led panel discussion and awards presentation. RSVP online by Monday, April 16, 2012.
IEEE Workshop: Millimeter Wave to Terahertz Devices and Technologies
April 27, 2012
This one-day workshop will focus on devices and technologies for emerging applications in the upper millimeter wave and lower terahertz (submillimeter) electromagnetic spectrum, bringing together invited experts from industry and academia for a full day of stimulating discussion and insight.

Publications/Presentations
Algae Brochure
Milt Sommerfeld and Qiang Hu think of algae as one of the most useful substances in existence. And they think about it every day. In fact, they have an entire laboratory dedicated to the study of algae. The Laboratory for Algae Research & Biotechnology (LARB) is located in Mesa at ASU’s
AZCATI Brochure
The Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI), located at ASU’s Polytechnic Campus in Mesa, serves as a hub for research, testing, and commercialization of algae-based products. These include biofuels, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and other algae biomass coproducts. The center also serves as a learning environment for the next generation of scientists and engineers.
AzCATI Presentation
AzCATI provides service for algal strain selection and improvement. The facility is capable of collection. screening, selecting and characterizing naturally occurring and genetically engineered algal strains for various commercial applications
Bioenergy Brochure
With more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels...instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, let’s invest in tomorrow’s...
Bioenergy Presentation
Microbial conversion of biomass begins with hydrolysis and fermentation to make products that are convertible to the useful output. We accelerate the first steps using biomass pre-treatment.
