Cambridge Energy Masterclass 2024

On Monday and Tuesday this week 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

First Seminar of the Academic Year

Professor Andy Woods, Head of Institute, began our seminar series for Michaelmas term with a seminar titled ‘Fluid Mechanics Challenges of Large Energy Storage’. Andy began his talk by highlighting a simple yet crucial point: renewable energy supply is intermittent and energy demand is non-uniform, making energy storage innovations essential.  The talk then delved into
