Welcome to

Center for  Interfacial Electrochemistry of Energy Materials

What is the NSF-PREM-CIE2M?

The NSF-PREM CIE2M rests on the partnership of four institutions that complete the PREM pathway, Universidad Ana G. Méndez Cupey Campus and Gurabo Campus, the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao, Mayaguez, and Río Piedras Campus, with the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) at Cornell University, a Division of Materials Research funded center.

Outreach

The collaborative effort established by this project will improve the infrastructure for research and education at our institutions by linking CHESS scientist with our team of students and researchers.

Supports research efforts of students at the three institutions.  Provide workshops for scholars in preparation to their visit to the CHESS facilities.

Four Chemistry and/or Physics High School Teachers per year will have the opportunity to perform research activities in the participant laboratories.

Modules , animations, videos and a virtual tour of CHESS will provide information to the general community through CiE2M Website: http://prem-cie2m.upr.edu

Demonstrations and interactive tables highlighting basic concepts underlying CiE2M research will be used to engage the general public in outreach activities directed to increase their interest in science.
