ACEP is a young, dynamic program and that is reflected in the faces of the organization.   ACEP core staff and faculty span a diverse range of expertise.   Many are new to academia, and bring extensive industry and private sector experience to the University of Alaska.  

ACEP is also pioneering the concept of using affiliate ‘mentor’ faculty from throughout the country that are considered leaders in their field.   These key pioneers are tapped to work with our young faculty and staff and help shape our research agenda to ensure our work is current and relevant.   

ACEP also maintains joint positions with key partners, including the Alaska Energy Authority and Tanana Chiefs Conference.   These joint positions help strengthen the interdisciplinary and collaborative research platform on which ACEP was founded, and permit the sharing of limited resources.
