The Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability welcomes Professors Christine Goodale, the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor of Environmental Science in the College of Arts and Sciences and K. Max Zhang, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in the College of Engineering, as faculty directors. Beginning July 1, they will begin three-year terms to advance research efforts, strengthen cross-college collaborations, and guide the development of new programs.
“The faculty directors are critical to our distinct model of interdisciplinary research and training programs. Christy and Max have a long history of innovative approaches and engagement with the center, says David Lodge, the Francis J. DiSalvo Director of Cornell Atkinson. He added, “Their leadership in their fields and enthusiasm to drive university-wide efforts will fulfill key aspects of our knowledge-to-impact mission.”

By delving into scientific, technological, environmental and economic data, Cornell Engineering researchers have examined whether New York could achieve a statewide carbon-free economy by 2050.
Their finding: Yes, New York can reach this goal – and do it with five years to spare.
Fengqi You, the Roxanne E. and Michael J. Zak Professor in Energy Systems Engineering and a Croll Sesquicentennial Fellow in the Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Ning Zhao, a doctoral student in the Process-Energy-Environmental Systems Engineering (PEESE) lab, examined a variety of carbon-neutral energy systems and decarbonization methods after the state passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in July 2019.
