Energy Academic Group Research Overview
Abstract
Energy research at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is highly diverse, reflecting the diverse interests of our
highly capable faculty and students. A wide range of subject areas are covered by NPS energy research, including
basic sciences, engineering, operations and analysis, and business. There is also an increasing amount of work
that is cross disciplinary, involving faculty and students from multiple subject areas in solving the Navy, Marine
Corps and DoD critical energy needs. Although energy research at the NPS is focused on the needs of the US
military, much of the on-going research is unclassified and has both military and civilian applications. NPS energy
research is funded by both internal and external programs. For the 2011/2012 academic year, the NPS funded over
$250,000 worth of energy seed research from internal R&D funds. Total funding for energy research at the NPS in
the 2011/2012 academic year has exceeded $2M. External sponsors include the Office of Naval Research, the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Energy, and various Navy warfare centers such as NAWC
and NSWC.
