Five early career researchers at UiO presented their latest findings. With a time limit of ten minutes per presentation, the Let’s talk about energy concept allows researchers to share state-of-the-art insights with peers and a general audience in an accessible soundbite-friendly format.
Director of UiO:Energy and Environment, Vebjørn Bakken, is excited that the series is back in action.
- It fills an important niche for early career researchers, allowing them to showcase their work in a relaxed yet intellectually stimulating environment and I’m really excited that the series is up and running again, says Bakken.
The evenings line-up consisted of:
- Athanasios Chatzitakis, Researcher, Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology/Chemistry: "Will water be the Coal of the future?"
- Katinka Kristine Holtsmark, Assistant professor (tenure-track), Department of Economics: "Shock Therapy: Clean Innovation in the Norwegian Oil Supply Industry"
- Daniel Molin, PhD-candidate and senior adviser at the Norwegian Environment Agency: "From Petrol Stations to Charging Networks"
- Isabelle Viole, PhD-candidate, Department of Technology Systems: "Using Green Energy to Look at the Stars"
- Andreas Rosnes, PhD-candidate, Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology/Physics: "Anchored Nanoparticles for Energy Conversion"
The format is open to the public, so it’s a great exercise in science communication as well. We hope it can continue to foster discussions and create networking opportunities across disciplines.
