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
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
Head of Institute starts new ‘Energy Masterclass’ lecture series as part of the ‘Energy Technology’ course for Cambridge chemical engineering students On Friday 11th October Professor Andy Woods gave the first lecture of his new Energy Masterclass lecture series for students taking the part IIB Energy Technology course in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
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
