DESCRIPTION:The U.S. White House has set a target to achieve 50% to 52% red
 uction of greenhouse gas pollution by 2030\, putting the U.S. on a path to
  achieve a 100% clean energy economy with net-zero emissions by 2050. In p
 articular\, the U.S. has put forward goals to deploy 30 GW of offshore win
 d power capacity and enable 50% adoption of electric vehicles by 2030. Cri
 tical materials are the building blocks of these clean energy technologies
  – such as rare earth elements in permanent magnets that enable high ene
 rgy conversion in permanent magnet machines in electric vehicle and offsho
 re wind turbine drivetrains. This talk will examine the role critical mate
 rials play in magnets for clean energy and national security technologies 
 and the efforts the U.S. Department of Energy is pursuing to accelerate so
 lutions to the challenges posed. Additionally\, we will discuss alternativ
 e career options to the more typical routes of academia and industry post 
 graduate school.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Virginia Commonwealth University\, De
