Karen Telleen-Lawton: Engineering Social Impact at UCSB

With the continuing federal assaults on science, you might think climate science research has ground to a halt. Fortunately, UCSB academic inquiry shows that’s not the case. The scarcity of Lithium inspired two UCSB professors, Rachel Segalman and Ram Sechadri, in their determination to design batteries using sodium (Na). In nearby labs, engineering groups tackle carbon emissions from training AI models and streamline machine learning’s efficien…
