An Elizabeth City State University professorâs work on harnessing energy through photosynthesis has garnered an additional $450,000 in funding.
ECSU, which is one of three historically black colleges and universities to receive major funding from the Nuclear Security Administration for research into alternative energy options, received the grant from North Carolina Central University for its part in the project, according to Annemarie Delgado, director of ECSUâs Office of Sponsored Programs.
The $450,000 grant funds Bijandra Kumarâs ongoing research into alternative energy options and more efficient and less expensive means to convert plant carbon dioxide to fuel.
Kumar, an assistant professor in ECSUâs Department of Technology, explained that plants convert carbon dioxide into sugar using sunlight â but the process is slow.
