Professor Venkatram receives funding from CIEE (September 2004)
Professor Akula Venkatram is Principal Investigator on a research
project which received a $250,000 award from the California Institute
for Energy and Environment (CIEE). The project, titled "Evaluation of
the Near Source Air Quality Impact of Distributed Generation", builds
on prior research conducted at UCR. The goal is to develop and apply
models to estimate dispersion from urban sources, for assessing the
air quality of distributed generation of electricity in
California.
