Scientists are acutely aware that the world is counting on them to address our climate future and energy consumption through safer, cleaner, more efficient materials. New approaches, led by materials scientists and engineers at Duke, involve not only fresher versions of conventional materials but new thinking within the design phase. Hear from Prof. Helen Hsu-Kim as she discusses her research on pollutant metals with alumna Megan O'Connor Ph.D. '17, CEO and co-founder of Nth Cycle, a metal processing company that developed technology to enable a clean, domestic, and streamlined supply of critical minerals for the clean energy transition. Find out how Duke experts are working to inform smarter, more environmentally friendly design of products and technologies.
Speakers:
Helen Hsu-Kim, Professor of Environmental Engineering, Pratt School of Engineering
Megan O'Connor Ph.D. '17, CEO and Co-Founder, Nth Cycle
