The Center for Energy Research is an organized research unit at UC San Diego aimed at coordinating and promoting energy research and education. The Center provides a venue for interdisciplinary interactions among UCSD faculty, researchers, students and the public. Members of CER perform basic and applied research in the fields of fusion energy, solar energy, combustion, and related disciplines. The center also serves as a focal point for studies of socio-economic and environmental aspects of energy production and use (see CER Charter).   Events & Announcements Upcoming seminars (see archives): Peng Zhang, January 18 Jason Cassibry, January 27     CER News Results of proton beam experiments at Triton laser published in Nature Physics.
