Professor Paulo Cesar Tabares-Velasco received a seed grant from Nexus, an initiative designed to strengthen partnerships between Mines and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). Dr. Tabares-Velasco’s grant, “Modeling Framework for Optimizing Next Generation Building Envelopes for Grid,” will enable the development of an NSF proposal on future dynamic materials that will ultimately change the way buildings interact with the grid.Professor Paulo Cesar Tabares-Velasco received a seed grant from Nexus, an initiative designed to strengthen partnerships between Mines and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
