Science’s Time to Shine

Greg Jackson on changing perceptions and new opportunities

In our series, The ECS Community Adapts and Advances, Greg Jackson reflects on changing perceptions of science and difficulties meeting goals in the shadow of COVID-19. Greg is professor of mechanical engineering at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM). His research group focuses on solar energy storage in solid-oxide electrochemical systems. Greg received his PhD from Cornell University. After working at Precision Combustion, Inc., he spent 15 years in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland where he was Associate Director of the Energy Research Center. At ECS, Greg chaired the High-Temperature Energy, Materials & Processes Division, and served on the Board. He recently stepped back from administrative positions to teach more and spend time with his kids. (more…)

Interface Fall Issue is Here!

Fall is here and with the changing of the leaves comes the arrival of Interface. As we are still affected by the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to publish the fall 2020 issue of Interface in a digital format only. As a member of the Society, I’m thrilled to give you a first glimpse into our most recent issue. Published today, it focuses on a very timely topic, Electrochemistry for a Sustainable World, guest edited by Paul Kenis.
