Dr. Jennifer Gerbi, Associate Director for Technology, Program Director at ARPA-E

This week, we're talking to Dr. Jennifer Gerbi, Associate Director for Technology and a Program Director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). In addition to supporting program development, recruitment, and coordinating project management across the Agency, her programmatic focus at ARPA-E includes improving energy efficiency and management of buildings via advanced sensing systems and storage, novel insulating materials for windows, as well as renewable energy generation via photovoltaics. Dr. Gerbi talks with us about how the agency's unique culture encourages innovation and current efforts to bring these exciting projects to market. ARPA-E's 10th annual Energy Innovation Summit brings together leaders in industry, academia, and government to think about America’s energy challenges in new and innovative ways. This year’s Summit will take place from July 8-10 at the Gaylord Rockies. To learn more about the Summit and to register, visit www.arpae-summit.com.
