Scott Elgersma will be presenting the topic “Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as a tool for probing flow, chemistry, and molecular transport within chemicals reactors”.
– This talk will outline the development and application of MR techniques for quantitatively probing flow and transport within packed bed reactors at industrially relevant conditions. Furthermore, the insights these measurements provide for the design of catalyst and reactor technology will be discussed.
Subhajit Battacharjee will be presenting the topic “Sunlight-driven circular economy for a sustainable future: (Photo)electrochemical systems and ‘artificial leaves’ for waste-to-fuel/chemical production”.
– This talk will introduce (photo)electrochemical platforms that can reform waste streams into industrially relevant value-added chemicals and clean fuels simultaneously without externally applied voltage. The prototype in development is expected to be a portable, scalable tool for waste valorisation and fuel synthesis.
Agenda
4-5pm: Talks from both speakers
5-5.30pm: Q&A session
About the speakers
Scott Elgersma and Subhajit Bhattacharjee are currently PhD candidates at the University of Cambridge. They are CARES-sponsored nominees for the Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS) event that will be held in Singapore in January 2023.
As part of the CARES Visiting Scientists Scheme, outstanding researchers in a relevant field to our Carbon Reduction in Chemical Technology (C4T) programme may be nominated to visit CARES. They will be delivering this talk as part of their visit.
Registration
