Andrea Felicelli sees a world of possibilities emerging from her work developing cooling technology and paints that can cool the surfaces of cars, buildings, airplanes and more without any electrical inputs. These Purdue technologies can keep critical infrastructure cool as global temperatures rise, reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact. Her fellowship will focus on their patented lightweight formulation which has far-reaching impacts for strategic partners across a variety of industries.
