Charles F. Kutscher is a fellow of the Renewable and Sustainable
Energy Institute, a joint institute between the University of
Colorado-Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
(NREL). He served as the director of the Buildings and Thermal
Sciences Center at NREL from 2013 until his retirement in 2018. He
has worked in the field of renewable energy for over four decades,
during which time he has led research in solar heating and cooling,
building energy efficiency, solar industrial process heat,
geothermal power, and concentrating solar power. He is a fellow of
the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) and served as the
Society’s chair in 2000 and 2001. He led the ASES study, Tackling
Climate Change in the U.S., which detailed how energy efficiency
and six renewable energy technologies could greatly reduce U.S.
carbon emissions by 2030. He has served as an adjunct professor at
the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Colorado School of
Mines. He obtained a B.S. in physics from the State University of
New York at Albany, an M.S. in nuclear engineering from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. in
mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
Jana B. Milford is a professor and former department chair in the
Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of
Colorado-Boulder; she received her PhD from Carnegie-Mellon
University, and J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School.
Her research includes application of formal sensitivity and
uncertainty analysis and optimization techniques to chemistry and
transport models, and the use of these models in making
decisions.
Frank Kreith is an internationally renowned expert in solar energy,
heat transfer and thermal energy, and is the author of numerous
textbooks and reference works in these fields. Dr. Kreith received
his PhD from the University of Paris, and taught at the University
of Colorado-Boulder until his retirement.
