Lee Riedinger, Director and Director of Graduate Studies
The Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education offers one of the first interdisciplinary PhD programs in energy science and engineering. This new degree provides breadth while preserving the depth and rigor of a PhD program.
The Bredesen Center brings together extensive and complementary resources at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academic and research activities of national significance focused on energy-related science and engineering.
The Bredesen Center offers the Doctor of Philosophy degree with a major in Energy Science and Engineering or a concentration in ESE for students who prefer pursuing doctoral studies through existing programs. Graduate students will join interdisciplinary research teams at ORNL and UTK, which will expose them to problem-oriented research and development, and encourage them to approach research problems from new directions.
