Weekly Energy Symposium ft. Alvin Camba

From the moon landing to the energy transition, Houston has always been America's launchpad. As the nation turns 250, AI and energy are colliding. HECW is where builders, backers, and believers come together to write the next chapter.

Join industry leaders, policymakers, and top academic voices at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Energy Center’s flagship annual symposium, where the most pressing energy challenges are debated and the path forward takes shape.

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Energy Center is hosting the KBH Energy Expo on Thursday, September 10, from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. in the McCombs School of Business CBA Third Floor Atrium.

We are looking for a highly motivated student to join an innovative R&D project developing a groundbreaking Solar Paint technology. This is a paid position.

The BEST Symposium will be held virtually from July 27–29, 2026. This industrial research career conference, sponsored by Dow, is designed to introduce underrepresented U.S. doctoral and postdoctoral scientists to the wide range of rewarding careers in industrial research, including the many opportunities available at Dow – one of the world’s leading materials science companies. The conference, developed jointly by Dow’s minority scientists and PhD recruiting team, reflects Dow’s strong commitment to building and sustaining a diverse scientific workforce.

The Energy Materials Physics Department is a multidisciplinary research organization specializing in the synthesis and characterization of novel materials for energy and national security applications. We seek to understand and engineer materials that enable advanced energy technologies by linking atomic scale structure, defects, and interfaces to macroscopic hydrogen isotope retention, transport properties, and material performance in extreme environments. Our work encompasses discovery and optimization of materials for hydrogen storage and separations, as well as development of plasma-facing and containment materials for next generation fusion and fission reactors. We also study plasma-materials interactions using state-of-the-art research facilities and employ surface sensitive diagnostic techniques to probe composition and structure in the outermost atomic layers, and use ion implantation to tailor near surface chemistry and defect populations. We also conduct material exposure tests and study the near-surface plasma physics at the US National Tokamak Research facility in San Diego.

APTIM Federal Services, LLC, contracted by the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), is hosting free, in-person community events this summer to share and gather input on the new Texas Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) programs.
