“The University is a leader in renewable energy education in Nevada, and through this collaborative we can work to make Nevada a powerhouse in renewable energy in the entire country,” said Manoranjan Misra, a professor of materials science and engineering in the College of Engineering. “We have research on hydrogen fuels, bio-diesel, plants to biofuel, geothermal and the many subcategories and components of these types of renewable power. We will continue to work to bring together education and industry to develop these systems here in Nevada, boosting the economy with jobs as well as sales of products and services.”
All Misra has to do to reinforce this point is to simply look out the window of his office in the Laxalt Mineral Engineering Building on the University campus.
