The development and implementation of advanced energy technologies requires not only technology expertise, but also understanding of the policies that may impact implementation.  Georgia Tech has assembled an interdisciplinary team with technological and public policy expertise to create a generation of leaders in renewable energy.  Implementation of new materials into energy technologies will greatly depend on broader influences, such as energy policy, social and environmental concerns, as well as the economics of the solution.  Our research involves a unique partnership between fundamental science, more practical system level engineering issues, coupled with a policy orientation, where these different field are fully integrated.  This presentation will highlight our nanostructured materials and policy research efforts and demonstrate the impact of a holistic, integrated approach to the development of technologies to meet global societal needs.
