Cambridge Zero Research Symposia: Mitigation

During this Michaelmas Term, Cambridge Zero is organising a second series of Virtual Research Symposia, to highlight all the exciting and ground-breaking research on climate change, net-zero and zero-carbon solutions happening across the University of Cambridge. The aim of the series of eight events is to help build and strengthen our internal Cambridge Zero research community, and to encourage new connections and collaborations. This term in particular, we also want to highlight important Cambridge research contributions in the run-up to the COP26 UN Climate Summit in November.

The Symposia will take place on Wednesday afternoons throughout the term, with each week focused on a different theme, with Keynote Speakers and Early Career Researchers.

Keynote Speakers:

• Dr James Woodcock, “Moving to Zero Carbon Transport”
• Dr Ian Parry, "High resolution thermal infrared space telescopes for climate change mitigation"
• Dr Jonathan Cullen, "Demand reduction: the missing mitigation strategy"

Early Career Researcher Presentations:

• Dr Alan Bowman, "The maximum efficiency of the next generation of solar panels"
• Emily Bugden, "Benchmarking the Benchmarkers"
• Dr Christos Vlachakis, "Mitigating carbon emissions by 3D printing alternative cements"
