Research Overview: 欧美三级片 Clean Energy Research Center
The Clean Energy Research Center pursues scientific research, technical and infrastructure development, and information transfer in new and environmentally clean energy systems, including solar energy and energy conversion. Major research areas include the following:
- Concentrating solar power
- Photocatalytic detoxification/disinfection technologies
- Indoor air quality
- Smart materials (Thermochromics and Electrochromics)
- Building energy modeling (BEM)
- Design of solar plants on reclaimed land
- Energy storage (phase change materials, thermal storage, batteries, supercapacitors)
- New efficient thermodynamic cycles
- Photovoltaics
- Solar water desalination and distillation
Dr. D. Yogi Goswami is a Distinguished Professor and Director of the Clean Energy Research Center at the University of South Florida. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Solar Compass, journal of the International Solar Alliance and Emeritus Editor-in-Chief of the Solar Energy journal. Within the field of energy he has published 23 books, more than 400 papers, and holds 42 patents.
Professor Goswami has made transformative contributions to the field of Solar Energy, including Thermodynamic Power Cycles, and Solar photocatalytic Detoxification and Disinfection of Air and Water. He developed a new combined Power and Cooling Cycle, now known as the Goswami Cycle, which has resulted in global research in a new class of Combined Cycles with multiple outputs. He pioneered the development of photo-electrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology for disinfection of air, which is now available commercially. He has now developed the next generation Photonic technology to disinfect and detoxify the indoor air. Products based on this invention are helping allergy and asthma sufferers.
Dr. Goswami鈥檚 textbook, Principles of Solar Engineering based on his classroom teaching, is now in its 4th edition and is being used worldwide.
Prof. Goswami has served as the President of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), and a Governor and Senior Vice President of ASME-International among many professional leadership positions. As a leader in professional societies, he developed a number of energy policy options and impacted energy policies in many countries by direct interaction with their leaders.
Dr. Goswami is a recipient of the highest awards of many professional societies related to solar energy including the Farrington Daniels Award and Karl Boer Medal for Solar Energy from International Solar Energy Society, and the Charles Greely Abbott award from American Solar Energy Society, the Frank Kreith Energy award and John Yellott Solar Energy award from ASME, and the Joan Hodges Queneau Palladium Medal from the American Association of Engineering Societies. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, ASHRAE, AAAS, ASME, ASES, ISES and a member of the Pan American Academy of Engineers and has been inducted in the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame.
