在新能源越来越热的背景下，不少人都想申能源方向，但是发现选校很难。我今年申请电化学电池方向，找了一堆学校各个系去分析。现在推荐一个UTK-ORNL的Energy Science and Engineering Program，我印象中好像是美国第一个叫着名字的。UTK学校一般，但是和Oak Ridge National Lab的合作就让人期待，毕竟橡树岭是美国能源部直属。我是通过一个马上去橡树岭做postdoc在师兄在申请截止前三天知道这项目的，赶紧交了申请跟推荐信，上周拿到了interview和campus visit的邀请，希望通过这个帖子攒点人品，给我下场offer雨吧~~~

下面贴个官网跟英文介绍吧：

The Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education (CIRE) brings together extensive and complementary resources at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics research of national significance. In order to accomplish this task, CIRE has created two exceptional doctoral programs that will attract the best and brightest graduate students to come and solve the most challenging energy-related problems facing the nation and the world today.

The Energy Science and Engineering (ESE) Ph.D. program and concentration will engage these graduate students in interdisciplinary studies, including courses on entrepreneurship and public policy, while also drawing knowledge from a variety of STEM fields as they relate to specific topics. Topical areas of the ESE Ph.D have been chosen to resonate with Department of Energy priorities and industry needs, with a tailored integration of graduate courses across disciplines to provide deep expertise in a chosen specialty. Current areas of energy-related research include nuclear energy, bioenergy and biofuels, renewable energy, energy conversion and storage, distributed energy and grid management, as well as environmental and climate sciences related to energy usage. Graduate students will join research teams at both ORNL and UT, which will expose them to problem-oriented research and encourage them to develop solutions to these problems from multiple directions.

CIRE is also home to the highly competitive Distinguished Graduate Fellowship (DGF) Ph.D. program designed to create future leaders in science and engineering. Fellows will be heavily involved in research at ORNL while simultaneously taking specialty courses and seminars to complete their Ph.D. in a traditional STEM field at the University of Tennessee.
