To develop core competency in the physics of and the precision engineering principles necessary to develop astronomical instruments.

Design, fabrication, and implementation of both hardware and software for distributed, crowd-source power quality monitoring and analysis to support distributed renewable energy.

The overarching goal of the SCEL is to gather, process, analyze and make decisions about energy and environmental data on the UH Manoa campus. This involves building sensor networks to get environmental, building energy, and electric grid data. We are also analyzing and modeling the data and then making decisions by performing demand response algorithms to control loads using optimization and...
