The supply of clean sustainable energy is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Better batteries for electric cars and solar power for homes require advances in new materials and underpinning science. Using 3D glasses, Saiful Islam will show how atomic-scale modelling and structural chemistry are helping us explore new energy materials for a low carbon future.
Speakers
ful Islam is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Bath and presented the 80th anniversary CHRISTMAS LECTURES (2016) on the theme of energy.
He grew up in Crouch End, London and completed a chemistry degree and PhD at University College London under Richard Catlow FRS, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Eastman Kodak Labs in New York, USA, and a lectureship at the University of Surrey.
