A fully funded PhD at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Professor Alex Routh is available. It is in collaboration with a Dynamic Smart Glass manufacturer. Dynamic Smart Glass windows become opaque or clear in response to an external trigger. Example uses can be temperature modulation in cars through to maintaining a pleasant environment in a
On the 29th January 2025, Professor Andy Woods gave a public lecture for the Royal Geographical Society titled ‘The energy transition: what it means for the UK and the world’. The event was held at 7:30pm at the Leys School in Cambridge and was open to all.
On 9-10 December 2024 we hosted our annual Cambridge Energy Masterclass in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. This very well-attended event offered an illuminating insight into the state-of-the-art understanding of many vital areas of the energy transition, with talks on everything from wind, solar, and nuclear power; to ammonia, hydrogen, and geothermal energy storage; to
On Thursday 28 December we hosted ‘A Symposium on Energy & Environmental Flows’ to celebrate Professor Andy Woods’ 60th birthday. It was a wonderful event, with a packed schedule of talks throughout the day on topics from volcanic eruptions, ocean circulation, glaciology, and carbon dioxide removal technologies, to ‘how to stop your Granny catching fire’!
Andy Woods and Nicola Mingotti showcased Institute research in parliament on Tuesday 26th November during a session at which the four national academies presented their research activities related to energy transition. They took with them an analogue experiment demonstrating the dissolution of Carbon Dioxide in a deep saline aquifer. Throughout the morning Andy and Nicola
The Cambridge Energy Masterclass is a two-day intensive meeting of lectures and discussions, with talks from leading experts in various aspects of energy demand and supply. It focuses on the energy transition and the technologies needed to optimist new energy systems. The Masterclass takes place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences on Wilberforce Road. This
Applications are welcomed for an exciting new institute-based PhD programme on energy-related fluid dynamics. The Institute for Energy and Environment Flows is launching a major new PhD research programme on energy transition science, with up to 10 PhD awards, available to start in October 2025 or later. We are offering a series of fully funded
