CEMS represents the collaborations of research scientists from Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory that focus on the molecular basis for the behavior of environmental contaminants in natural and engineered systems.

Stony Brook and Brookhaven researchers, who are joined by scientists at Temple University and Penn State University, draw from the critical disciplines of chemistry, geochemistry, physics, microbiology, and materials science. Using a broad array of tools, including synchrotron radiation techniques, CEMS addresses complex environmental problems that affect society.

CEMS is an Environmental Molecular Science Institute funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, with support from Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

AWARD NOTICE 2007
Clare Grey, CEMS PI, has been designated winner of the 2007 Battery Division Research Award from the Electrochemical Society for outstanding contributions to the science and technology of primary and secondary cells and batteries and fuel cells.
