Bosch Group gives energy grants to UC Berkeley, Stanford professors

The Bosch Group consists of parent company Robert Bosch GmbH and about 350 subsidiaries all over the world.

Two energy researchers at the University of California, Berkeley?

Bosch sought proposals from five U.S. universities -- UC Berkeley, Stanford, the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

Locally, the energy research grants will go to:

  • Professor Kameshwar Poolla of UC Berkeley for work on improving control and efficiency of smart grid electrical distribution systems.
  • Professor Elton Cairns of UC Berkeley for improvements to high-energy lithium/sulfur batteries.
  • Professor Roger Howe of Stanford for studies of solid-state devices that covert heat directly into electricity.

The grants come from the Bosch Energy Research Network, or BERN. The Bosch Group consists of parent company Robert Bosch GmbH?

Bosch is based in Gerlingen, near Stuttgart, today. Some of its units make automobile components like brakes and steering mechanisms, while others make industrial products and consumer goods.
