Join Professor Dutton, Professor Evans and Dr Forse for an insight on how Cambridge is creating solutions for a sustainable and resilient energy landscape for generations to come.

Speakers

Professor Siân Dutton (Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Cambridge)

Dr Dutton

Siân Dutton is a Professor of Physics and Solid State Chemistry at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.

Siân was an undergraduate at Jesus College, Cambridge, where she studied Natural Sciences. After a DPhil. In Oxford and working in Princeton she returned to Cambridge as a Winton Advanced Research Fellow. Siân’s interdisciplinary research group explores the relationship between composition, structure and properties in ceramic oxides. Her work explores new materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries and the use of magnetic materials to cool to low temperatures. 

Professor Rachel Evans (Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge)

Dr Rachel Evans

Rachel Evans is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, and Fellow of Jesus College. Rachel's research uses materials chemistry to design functional soft materials (e.g. polymers, surfactants, colloids/nanoparticles, organic-inorganic hybrids) which absorb, produce or respond to light. Such materials are the basis of many cutting-edge technologies, including light-emitting displays, solar cells, optical sensors and bioelectronic devices.  

Dr Alex Forse (Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge)

Dr Alexander Forse

Alexander Forse is an Assistant Professor in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. His research team studies and develops porous materials that can mitigate climate change. His current focus areas are energy storage and carbon dioxide capture.
