About CEIC

Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center (CEIC) is a joint endeavor between Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering and Tepper School of Business. Faculty affiliated with CEIC are drawn primarily from the following nine academic units across campus.

  1. Tepper School of Business
  2. Department of Engineering and Public Policy
  3. Department of Social and Decision Sciences
  4. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
  5. Department of Mechanical Engineering
  6. Department of Materials Science and Engineering
  7. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  8. School of Computer Science
  9. Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy

A major advantage of having CEIC at Carnegie Mellon University is the overlapping interests of related researchers, including those at Center for Climate and Energy Decision Making, Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies, Green Design Institute, Integrated Environmental Control Model, and Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation. Each of these related efforts is headed by CEIC-affiliated senior faculty and the centers collaborate closely on research, student training, and seminars. Each of these affiliated centers conducts research and outreach activites on electricity-industry issues that are within their own domain. These synergistic activities enrich CEIC and build our reputation among electricity-industry leaders, government agencies, legislators, non-government organizations, the media, and the public.
