A historic $75 million gift will fuel construction of a much-needed new engineering building at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
With their lead gift—the largest single gift in college history—brothers and UW-Madison alumni Marvin and Jeffrey Levy are honoring the memory of their brother, Phil, who passed away in 2021. A passionate and accomplished professional interior designer, Phil earned an English degree from the university in 1964.
Electrical & computer engineers developed converters that improve the performance & stability of renewables. A finalist for WARF’s top disclosure.

Wind, solar and hydropower are a good start when it comes to renewable energy, but the real prize is lurking just off the coast: There’s enough energy produced by ocean waves and tides around the world to exceed all human energy needs—if we can unlock it.
A unique type of electric machine might hold the key.
Professor Emeritus Fernando Alvarado spent 30 years in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying renewable energy, power systems pricing and computer applications in power systems. In retirement, he wanted to give back to the department—not just financially, but through a program that would directly serve students and the power engineering industry, while also advancing sustainability in the energy industry.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering is partnering on a grant of up to $50 million to bring smart grid technology to rural and underserved communities throughout Wisconsin.
A University of Wisconsin–Madison researcher has developed a tool that could help people who struggle to afford electricity make better choices about how to ration their energy use.
Millions of people around the globe rely on prepaid utility plans that work much like prepaid phone service. Rather than getting a bill at the end of the month, these customers pay for their kilowatt hours up front by putting money in their accounts.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering seeks to hire two faculty members with expertise in any of the following clean energy technology areas: 1) electric drive systems for renewable energy; 2) energy-efficient electronics and/or computing systems for sustainable AI; and 3) modeling and integrated design of grid-scale energy storage devices and systems. Outstanding candidates at all levels (Assistant, Associate, Full Professor rank) will be considered.
A technology pioneered by Benjamin Franklin is being revived to build more efficient electric motors, an effort in its nascent stage that has the potential to be massive…
