An Energy Center of Excellence TU: An Energy Center of Excellence The University of Tulsa is uniquely positioned among other institutions of higher education as a nationwide leader in energy. Home to students from 66 countries, TU offers an internationally renowned engineering program while embracing a multi-disciplinary approach to energy education. The energy field encompasses faculty, students, research and employment placement from the Collins of Business, the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the College of Law. TU’s historic North Campus has been a beacon of technical research, hands-on learning opportunities and cutting-edge innovation for more than 50 years. While honoring its 90-year history in oil and gas research, TU is evolving into a center of excellence for all energy resources now including solar, wind, nanobatteries and biofuels.

12 < THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA TU’s 2017 Rhodes Scholar Kirk Smith (BS ‘17) worked closely with mentor and Associate Professor Todd Otanicar during his time as a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Smith participated in alternative energy projects as part international internships and learned about sustainable energy as a member of Otanicar’s federally funded research team on the TU campus. Now a student at Oxford University, Smith’s research aims to increase clean energy usage by developing cheap, large-scale energy storage systems. He hopes to combat climate change by harvesting solar and wind power during off-peak times. By tackling the intermittency problem of renewables, utilities can buy low and sell high with stored energy and encourage a clean energy economy. 800 SOUTH TUCKER DRIVE • TULSA, OK 74104
