Clare Hall PhD student Poorya Shaghaghi has recently been awarded a Mellon bursary by his College. This award is given by Clare Hall to up to four students, based on academic merit. Poorya joined the Institute during Easter term, and is now working under the supervision of professor Woods. His research focusses on the ventilation
On Tuesday 20 May, 60 Year-4 children from our local primary school visited the Earth Sciences department. They explored different volcanic processes and new technologies for the energy transition in the IEEF Flow Labs, and discovered fossils from the chalk sea that covered Cambridge 90 million years ago at the Collections Research Centre.
On Saturday 17 May, alumni from the Department of Earth Sciences visited the Institute and the Bullard Laboratories. Professor Andy Woods presented some of the research which is currently being developed at the Institute, including work on carbon and hydrogen storage, CO2 dissolution in aquifers, and electrolysis. Andy also discussed our recent experiments on the
Dr Quentin Kriaa is joining the Institute as a new Assistant Professor in Climate and Environmental Fluid Dynamics, a joint position between the Department of Earth Sciences and DAMTP. Before coming to Cambridge, Quentin studied in Marseille and Toulouse, France, and then worked as a postdoc at the University of Twente, in the Netherlands. Quentin
Professor Alex Routh has recently been awarded the Thomas Graham Lecture. The Graham Lecture is awarded to researchers working in the UK, who are in the prime of their research careers, have established an international reputation in colloid science, and have already made distinguished contributions to the field of colloid science. On Tuesday 1st April,
On Friday 21 March 2025, professor Andy Woods returned from a 2-day visit to the Japan Academy. The visit was organised with the Royal Society to discuss issues relating to the energy transition, with particular focus on hydrogen generation, use and storage and carbon capture and storage.
