Abstract:

The world is at the transition from conventional fossil fuel-based piston engine technology to the electrification of transport and use of sustainable fuels. Electrochemical technologies (batteries, fuel cells, etc) are poised to be at the heart of this revolution. This talk will cover the comprehensive course offerings and cutting-edge research taking place in this area in Chemical Engineering at UCL.

Presented by:

Dr Alex Rettie, Lecturer in Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage in the Department of Chemical Engineering at UCL.
