The Webber Energy Group is Professor Webber's research group at the University of Texas at Austin. We are part of the Cockrell School of Engineering, the Clean Energy Incubator, the Jackson School of Geosciences and the LBJ School of Public Affairs. We analyze energy problems at the intersection of science, engineering, and public policy. Our research at the University of Texas can be organized into four broad topical areas:
1) The Energy-Water Nexus
2) Dynamic Modeling of Complicated Energy Systems (including the smart grid)
3) Alternative Transportation Fuels (electricity, algae and natural gas)
4) The Nexus of Food, Waste and Energy
Comparative Energy Conference
December 17, 2012 8:30am - 5:30pm AT&T Conference Center, Austin, TX
This conference, organized and hosted by Dr. Webber, brought together representatives from academia, industry, government, and the media from the USA and France to discuss a variety of topics related to energy policies and technologies. This conference compared and contrasted the energy landscape in the USA and France around four core topics: shale gas production; the grid (including nuclear, smart grid, renewables and energy efficiency); public policy; and media coverage. 
The recent Water, Technology and Policy course hosted by the University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School was held August 9th and was extremely well received. Keep your eyes open for a repeat of this course in 2013!
