Director’s colloquium
The scientific challenges of sustainable energy technology will be discussed by Nathan Lewis at a Director’s Colloquium September 7 in the Physics Building Auditorium at Technical Area 3.
The unclassified colloquium begins at 1:10 p.m., and is open to all badge holders. It will be shown on LABNET Channel 9 and on desktop computers using Real Media Stream and IPTV technology.
Lewis will address some of the challenges of implementing renewable energy technologies. Lewis will analyze how economic forces may stimulate a transition to renewable energy sources, the level of research and development investment needed for carbon-free power by 2050, and the effects of a change in power technology on energy supply infrastructure.
Lewis has been a faculty member at the California Institute of Technology since 1988 and was on the faculty at Stanford from 1981 until 1988.
