In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, Dr. Erin Phillips, Acting Senior Director of Research at the School of Energy Resources, sits down with University of Wyoming professors Dr. Brian Leonard (Department of Chemistry) and Dr. Bryan Leonard (School of Energy Resources / Haub School) to explore the intersection of hard science and institutional policy.

In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, Dr. Erin Phillips, Acting Senior Director of Research at the School of Energy Resources, visits with Kyle Summerfield to trace the remarkable decade-long evolution of the University of Wyoming’s 3D Visualization Center. From its early days, housed within a massive, room-sized 3D CAVE, to its modern-day reality as a lean, agile, and state-certified University Service Center, Kyle shares how his team has completely transformed the way researchers, students, and industries interact with complex spatial data.

In this episode of Energy Frontier: The Wyoming Landscape, Dr. Erin Phillips, Acting Senior Director of Research at the School of Energy Resources, sits down with Christine Reed, the Director of Outreach for the School of Energy Resources. While scientists and engineers are busy developing the next generation of energy technologies, Christine and her team are doing the vital work of connecting those innovations to the public, lawmakers, and industry stakeholders. We dive into the unique challenges and triumphs of energy communication, exploring how to build public trust, bridge the gap between complex science and community needs, and why "the human element" is the ultimate catalyst for a sustainable energy future.
