University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Our researchers are powering the future.

Dr. Xiao-Dong Zhou’s work with solid oxide fuel cells is a good example. The tiny cells carry a punch, converting chemical energy into electrical energy at rates substantially higher than gasoline engines.

This tree’s not just tall – it’s a champion. At 80 feet, our sole Montezuma cypress is Louisiana’s tallest.

Its other dimensions are pretty impressive, too. It has a spread of 80 feet and a circumference of 28 feet.

We’re changing the state’s energy landscape.

The University’s Photovoltaic Applied Research and Testing Laboratory is poised to be a player in a sustainable energy sector that’s evolving in Louisiana.
