Trelewicz Receives $1.89M to Support Carbon-Neutral Energy Research

Jason Trelewicz

Jason Trelewicz, associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, has received three awards totaling $1.89 million to support his research on advanced materials for carbon-neutral energy technologies and additive metal manufacturing.

Trelewicz has received $950,000 from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Basic Energy Sciences Program for the study of fundamental irradiation effects in a unique class of stabilized nano-alloys, which hold promise as high-performance structural materials for next-generation nuclear technologies. He has also received $482,000 as an augmentation to his current ARPA-E award from June, 2019. This project was originally funded at $2.14 million, but expanded through this augmentation to allow the project team, including SBU Co-PIs Lance Snead and David Sprouster, to scale manufacturing of the materials and understand their stability in a reactor environment. In addition, he has been awarded $460,000 for tailoring performance in additively manufactured stainless steels from the Office of Naval Research.

Trelewicz holds a joint appointment in the Institute for Advanced Computational Science. His research explores the science of interface engineered alloys using in situ and analytical characterization tools coupled with large-scale atomistic simulations to design materials for extreme environment applications. He received the 2017 DOE Early Career Award and 2016 NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award. He is an alum of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (BE 2004), and MIT (PhD 2008).

  • Dear Sir
    I am a former scientist of reconnaissance satellites in Sothern California with 35years of experience.
    We have developed a new type of optical colorimeter and spectrometer that can characterize and measure concentrations of chemical on earth soil remotely by a satellite or a high flying plane.
    We are a small company and we are looking for a larger organization to jointly perform further test to respond to your agency’s solicitations. The system was invented to measure specific concentrations of chemicals that identify the color of a cut diamond. Considering that shining light on cut diamonds generates billions of other colors, the system is able to measure MINUTE degrees of Concentrations OF chemicals in a media that has significantly larger amounts of similar chemicals.
    We will appreciate if you tell us how this program works and even introduce some companies to work with us.

    In the new system, visible or UV light is shined on a sample to capture the absorbed electromagnetic color and identify all the elements in the diamond.
    A discovery by quantum mechanics scientists, established that atoms of a given element have a unique collection of possible electron energy jumps; this translates into a unique collection of colors for the released photons. Such work established convincedly that atomic species are uniquely identified by pattern of wavelength of the light they emit (and absorb).
    We have three patents on the subject.
    Please contact us for more information
