Affiliate Program members may provide additional funding. All research results arising from the use of funding will be shared with all program members and the general public.  Affiliate Program members may request the additional funding be used to support a particular area of program research identified on the program’s website, or the program research of a named faculty member, as long as the faculty is identified on the program website as participating in the Affiliate Program. In either instance, the director(s) of the Affiliate Program will determine how the additional funding will be used in the program’s research.

Our consortium of faculty is led by Faculty Co-Directors Prof. Yi Cui, and Prof. Will Chueh, both of the Materials Science and Engineering department and Senior Fellows at the Precourt Institute for Energy, Stanford University.
