Dr. Lackner’s principal fields of interest include: Carbon management; alternative fuels and energy management; fluid mechanics and transport processes; applied physics. The specific on-going research efforts of Lackner's group range from the development of a new technology to capture carbon from the air to the investigation of an approach to energy production and conversion that favors smaller units that are mass-produced, modular, and controlled in aggregate by cheap automation and control systems.

Dr. Park’s principal fields of interest include: Carbon capture and storage (CCS), Sustainable energy conversion systems, Synthesis of hydrogen and liquid fuels from alternative energy sources, Particle technology, Electrostatic charging phenomena in multiphase flows and Electrostatic tomography.  The specific on-going research efforts of Park's group include the fundamental studies of novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials for application in CO₂ capture and storage, tailored synthesis of engineered carbon-neutral filler materials and production of hydrogen and liquid fuels from biomass and solid municipal wastes with integrated carbon sequestration.
