The focus of the lab's research will be in the impact of energy on the environment. The intersection of energy and environmental systems is where we plan to focus our attention. I see great opportunity and potential to excel in this field. To promote the international exchange of ideas, Dr. Inyang is working with UNC Charlotte faculty and administrators to develop a proposal to establish the Global Institute for Energy and Environmental Systems. The Institute would stimulate collaborations on global environmental issues and policies.
Specific detail are yet to be worked out.
However, the Institute, when established, will host international workshops, visiting faculty, seminars, and international collaboration on research issues. With international ties and cross-disciplinary programs, Dr. Inyang sees a synergy developing that will make important contributions to energy and environmental systems research. I truly believe it is possible to have one of the finest environmental programs in the world here at UNC Charlotte.
