Q1: As an ARPA-E fellow, you’ll explore technical white spaces that can rapidly progress our country’s energy future. Provide a vision for a technical white space that ARPA-E has not previously pursued and can impact any of ARPA-E’s mission areas. We encourage you to think outside the box and go beyond prior experiences! Please be quantitative in your response. *

Q2: ARPA-E fellows champion novel energy technologies, thinking critically and creatively about the future of energy technologies and performing independent analyses and engaging with scientific and technical communities. Tell us about a time you demonstrated leadership and creativity, going beyond your degree requirements. *

Q3: ARPA-E Fellows develop breadth and depth during their tenure. Please help us understand your breadth of interest by listing three technology concepts or areas you’re interested in exploring at ARPA-E. We’re looking for more specificity than categories like ‘energy storage’ or ‘AI and data centers’, and the more specific you can be, the better! *
