• Energy systems analysis for the energy transition: key research challenges and (some) solutions

  04 November 2020, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract of the talk: Wide scientific consensus reflects the need to decarbonize the global energy system, which is responsible for over 90\% of greenhouse gas emissions. This requires drastic reductions in energy demand, across sectors, energy vectors and energy services, combined with a shift to much more sustainable energy supply systems....

  Innovation, Engineering and Value

  04 March 2020, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract of the talk: This presentation will be very different to the more conventional engineering core subject teaching that you receive as part of your academic studies. It will introduce how engineers can consider where innovation, value and engineering come together. To do this the concept of a ‘value curve’ will...

  Current thermometry research directions

  16 December 2019, 13:00 - 14:00

  The talk will fall into two parts: 1. In the post kelvin redefinition era instead of the simple choice of temperature traceability being achieved through the calibration of sensors to the defined temperature scales the user is presented with a more nuanced traceability choice through the mise en pratique for...

• Understanding and control of particle formation processes: from nucleation fundamentals to continuous manufacturing

  28 May 2019, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract of the talk: Particle formation processes play key role in numerous environmental, biological and industrial processes. Particles can form through phase transitions, often involving nucleation processes, or by aggregation and assembly of molecular or particulate precursors. We focus on understanding of fundamentals of particle formation processes to enable design...

• How do planets maintain their magnetic fields?

  26 March 2019, 12:30 - 13:30

  Abstract: Despite over 70 years of concerted research, we still do not understand the detailed mechanism by which the planets maintain their magnetic fields. While all agree that such fields are examples of fluid dynamos, driven by strongly turbulent convection within the planet's interior, there is still no agreement as to...
