Congratulations to Professor Bri-Mathias Hodge, whose project was selected for CU Boulder’s prestigious RIO New Frontiers planning grant!
Hodge’s research team is one of three selected across campus to receive support for bold, interdisciplinary work through the Research & Innovation Office, in partnership with the College of Engineering & Applied Science, the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Education.
New Frontiers in the Renewable Energy Transition: Mapping Technological and Social Dimensions of Geothermal Development in Colorado
- PIs: Bri-Mathias Hodge—Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI); Shae Frydenlund—Center for Asian Studies
- Project overview: Geothermal energy is an underutilized resource that could play a significant role in Colorado’s energy future. Despite abundant resource potential, there are significant, yet poorly understood, technological and social barriers to increased deployment. This project unites CU Boulder researchers across engineering, physical, and social sciences to form an interdisciplinary team poised to position the university as a geothermal leader.
